About This Book

Ambientada en un puerto del Mediterráneo antiguo, la novela arranca con la llegada de una nave celebrada y describe el bullicio del muelle; entre mercados, astilleros y cultos en templos, la narración explora las redes sociales que rodean a una célebre cortesana, cuyo influjo enlaza marineros, mercaderes y enviados políticos. Surgen tensiones entre costumbres locales, intereses comerciales y poderes externos mientras ambiciones y rivalidades impulsan negociaciones y confrontaciones. Pasajes descriptivos sobre la vida marítima y las observancias rituales alternan con episodios de persuasión y autoridad, conformando un retrato vivo de comunidad, deseo y poder.
