Overview
Esparta, 242 a.C. La sociedad espartana se enfrenta a una de las mayores crisis de su historia: con los dos reyes enemistados y un sistema económico en declive, la guerra es una amenaza cada vez más acuciante.
Desde niña, Orianna siempre ha soñado con ser una gran guerrera. El único obstáculo con el que se encuentra es haber nacido mujer, pero, decidida a que nada ni nadie la detenga, luchará por obtener un lugar de honor en el ejército de Esparta. Para ello contará con la ayuda de su amigo Egan, un joven tullido que aspira a ganarse la admiración del pueblo espartano y, secretamente, el amor de Orianna, y con el apoyo de Nella, la esclava con la que ambos han crecido y que oculta sus propias ambiciones.
Sin embargo, la sombra implacable del conflicto civil alterará los destinos de los tres de forma irremediable.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A NOVEL OF AMBITION, LOVE, LOYALTY AND STRENGTH THAT REVEALS THE HUMAN SIDE OF SPARTAN SOCIETY.
Sparta, 242 BC. Sparta faces one of the worst crises in its history. With two kings vying for power and its economy on the decline, the threat of war grows ever closer.
Orianna has always dreamed of being a great warrior. The only obstacle in her way is having born female, and she won’t be thwarted in her goal to win a position of honor in Sparta’s military. At her side are her friend, Egan, a young cripple who yearns for public admiration and, secretly, for Orianna’s love; and Nella, the slave who has been their companion since childhood and who harbors her own ambitions. But the shadow of civil war will irrevocably change their fates.
