About This Book

La novela sitúa la acción en el Bierzo de comienzos del siglo XIV y entrelaza descripciones del paisaje y la vida señorial con episodios de honor caballeresco y amor frustrado. Sigue las tensiones surgidas alrededor de doña Beatriz, cuya elección matrimonial enfrenta al señor de Bembibre, a don Álvaro y al conde de Lemus, mientras las lealtades familiares, las rivalidades sociales y los códigos de la nobleza regulan conductas y destinos. El relato alterna escenas de campo, justas y conversación cotidiana para explorar virtudes, celos y sacrificios personales en un entorno feudal minuciosamente pintado.
