Mio Cid, Caballero de Castilla

Synopsis

Mio Cid: Knight of Castile Series Blood, sweat and iron - Book XIII In a Castile torn by treason and war, the figure of a man who was more than a gentleman, more than a man, more than a soldier: Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the Champ Cid. Failed by his king, beloved and hated by equals, Rodrigo forks his destiny at the edge of his sword, between impossible pacts with moors and Christians, between pallor intrigues and family betrayals. From the walls of Burgos to the hot sands of Valencia, his life is an iron and blood song, where glory is always bought at the price of pain. His son will fall into the Plateau of Consuegra, his daughters will suffer the affront of Corpes, and even dead, Rodrigo will ride one last time to defeat his enemy. Because the Champion belongs to a different lineage: He who does not surrender even to his grave. That's not the sweetened chronicle of a perfect hero but the grim and great account of a man of flesh and blood, whose will of iron and family tragedies made him an immortal legend. A journey through ashes, oaths and blood, counted with the crudeness of the medieval gestures and the lyrism of the great epoids. The Cid lives. The Cid dies. The Cid's still riding.
