Katia Fox Libros

Inglaterra y Normandía, siglo XII: la joven Ellenweore sueña con convertirse algún día en la mejor forjadora de espadas de Europa. Desde niña, Ellenweore destaca manejando la forja de su padre. Y aunque en plena Edad Media a una mujer nunca se le permitiría destacar en tal oficio, las penosas circunstancias que vivirá la acercarán a su sueño. Tendrá que huir a Normandía, haciéndose pasar por chico, y allí aprenderá los secretos de su arte, conocerá el violento mundo de los torneos y las intrigas nobiliarias y hallará al amor de su vida, Guillaume el Mariscal, para quien en el futuro forjará la mítica espada Athanor.

Despite his mother's insistence, young William knows he is destined not to toil with a swordsmith's hammer in his hand, but rather to stride the open country with a falcon on his fist. And when he rescues a magnificent bird of prey belonging to King Henry himself, the boy finds in His Majesty's favor a golden opportunity. Neither the stigma of a clubfoot nor the powerful influence of prophecy will keep him from fleeing the smoky smithy to run the open fields...in the shadow of the sky's winged masters. But his journey will be a tumultuous one, marked in equal measure by triumph and torment. He will meet a lifelong friend and make a deadly enemy, be hunted through the wilderness and go hungry on city streets. And as he travels from the huts of the lowly to the castles of the highborn, growing from callow youth to experience-scarred manhood, he will fight -- with honor for what is right and with fury against wrongs no man should suffer.

With captivating detail and uncanny insight, Katia Fox transports us to the dazzlingly lavish royal courts of twelfth century England, where the kingdom's destiny lies in the hands of an extraordinary knight. Young Guillaume, fourth son of a minor baron, has passionate but unlikely dreams of becoming one of the king's knights. But when he rescues the queen from a rebel attack, she gratefully appoints him to be the sword-fighting instructor to the prince, securing his place at court. Soon, Guillaume becomes one of the most influential men in England--but as his star rises, so does the number of enemies who seek his downfall. Before long, a sinister plot is hatched to destroy him...Guillaume must outsmart his aggressors, or risk losing everything. The Golden Throne is the magnificent conclusion to Katia Fox's family trilogy set against the richly textured historical tapestry of the High Middle Ages.
