Produktbeschreibung

"The women kissed by fire" is a thriller that combines historical fiction and magical realism. The main characters of the novel are women so significant that they lead us to think History needs to be written under a more realistic prism: the feminine. SYNOPSIS: The story begins in the 7th century B.C. in the demo of Hemeroskopeion. An unsettling discovery is made there which leads the newly settled Greek colonists to consider abandoning those lands. However, their geographical location brings great commercial value so they are forced to resort to their deities to protect themselves from the Evil that dwells there.

In 2016 an item is stolen from La Alcudia archaeological site. Marcus follows the tracks of the stolen piece to Mer, who is astonishingly like his ex-girlfriend. Together, they begin to investigate the origins of the carved stone tablet. Marcus asks Rupe, a psychiatrist friend who specialises in esoterical topics, for help and the three embark on an adventure that will cross twenty-eight centuries.

Like a tapestry woven before our eyes, we observe the combinations of cultures that interweave and give Alicante its incomparable historical heritage. The reader will discover the mystery surrounding the Triangular Tower at La Mola Castle and the Shrine of Mary Magdalene in Novelda. They will experience the battle fought at Santa Bárbara Castle when James II, King of Aragón, seized the keys to the fortress from the frozen hands of Sir Nicolás Peris, who remained loyal to the King of Castile. They will discover the reasons for the Greek inheritance in the Lady of Elche, and even a possible explanation of who the enigmatic stone bust could represent. Book Reader review: Aspasia of Miletus (wife of Pericles of Athens), Mary Magdalene and Queen Blanca of Anjou (of the Crown of Aragón). What could they have had in common? What jewel could they have shared? Protective earrings? The same hair colour? A powerful magical elixir of love and wisdom? All of this will be revealed in the story, which begins with the theft of an ancient carved tablet found on an arcaheological dig in the province of Alicante, Spain.

The novel flickers between historical fiction and magical realism. Very well documented. It will lead you between the truthful and the improbable, with breathtaking plot twists, spirituality, intrigue, romance and action.
