SYNOPSIS

These are turbulent times at the beginning of the 12th century. Wars, alliances, blood, betrayals, oaths. Storm clouds threaten the peninsula. The end of the High Middle Ages gives way to a new era of change and many kingdoms are divided by religion. 

Muhámmad ibn Mardanís is barely a child when he finds himself caught up in a war between the Christian Aragonese and the radical Muslim Almoravids of al-Andalus . Son of the governor of Fraga, he is forced to leave the border town with his family in search of prosperity and a better future.
This historical novel tells the medieval life of Mardanís, “the Wolf King”, narrating the extraordinary life of a child destined to become king.

With a narrative rich in detail and a vibrant context, we follow his journey from childhood to the struggle for power, facing challenges that will test his courage and determination. A story of growth, leadership and the eternal struggle between duty and heart. “The Wolf King” is one of the most unknown and at the same time most decisive historical figures in the development of the 12th century in al-Andalus.
