La sombra de los sueños

There are dreams that are better left unfulfilled. A story full of action, adventure and conspiracies around the historical figure of Saladin. Sarah Ludwig is a sophisticated art thief.

After her latest theft, a valuable Manet, she is contacted by the Emir Khalid bin Ayub, a passionate horse lover who, won over by her talent, asks her for help in carrying out an incredibly ambitious and risky objective.

To achieve this, Khalid also needs to undertake a complex excavation in a turbulent Syria and muster the determination of a man of science, short on scruples and with few ethical limits when it comes to proceeding.

Only in this way will the Emir be able to make a long-standing obsession come true with which he intends to surprise the world and rewrite the past: revive Shujae , the legendary mare of the greatest Muslim hero in history, Saladin. Are these perhaps Khalid's only intentions or do they go much further?

The success of his astonishing plan could end up being the nightmare of many. Because every dream also has its shadow.

Following the success of previous novels such as El sanador de caballos and El jinete del silencio, the winner of the 2020 Fernando Lara Prize with La bruma verde, Gonzalo Giner returns to bookstores with his new novel La sombra de los sueños, a unique story full of action, conspiracies and adventures surrounding the historical figure of Saladino, perfect for lovers of fast-paced novels.
