Sinossi

The Black Codex of José Hernández 


(Medieval historical fiction novel set in the 11th century A.D.) 


Adventure, intrigue, action and excitement in a medieval story. 


The Black Codex 


The Black Codex is a story of passion, intrigue, and power in a time no longer remembered. It is revealed through the investigations of Raquel, a young engineer who is shocked by a detail in a Romanesque church in the Lleida Pyrenees. Throughout the development of the story, she is accompanied by Xavier Rivas, professor of medieval history at the University of Girona, with whom she begins a very close relationship. 


At a time when legend and reality intertwine in the night of time, in 1035, a year of convulsions in general, Wilfred of Berga, his wife and Leodovico, a minstrel who has recently arrived in the region and who brings with him legends from distant lands, will begin a search for the impossible that will defy both reason and faith and will unleash the wrath of the darkest powers. 


A powerful portrait of the Middle Ages with main characters such as Oliba, Guillermos de Besalú, the King of Navarre, the Bishop of Urgel... A combination of characters who go to the place where it all began, the Lleida Pyrenees, where it will have a dramatic end as a result of internal struggles between feudal lords, whose entire conflict is recorded in a cursed book: The Black Codex.

    A History of the Philippines is a short, dense and temporally expansive book. It starts with the Evolution of the Land 100 million years ago. The writing is predominantly dry, dispassionate and academic. It's full of details, and often presumes an existing familiarity with Philippine history and culture, introducing terms with no definition provided.

    OSKAR 
    After a little mishap in an alleyway with CCTV, my public image needs fixing. Oops? 
    It might have been a stunt to get the attention of Lane Pierce, San Jose’s new PR manager, but I didn’t realize what the consequences would be when I did it. I’ve got Lane’s sole focus now in all the wrong ways. 
    He has designated himself as my babysitter, and while it’s fun messing with him, being bound by curfews and rules has never worked for me. 
    The more I push back, the more I realize what’s really on the line. My career, my future, and maybe even my heart. 
    LANE 
    Being appointed head of San Jose’s PR department was a dream come true … until I met Oskar Voyjik. 
    He may be San Jose royalty, but with the stunts Oskar’s been pulling, the team owner is down to his last thread of patience. Which puts me in the firing line. If I can’t turn Oskar’s entitled party boy image around, we’ll both be shown the door. 
    I have free rein to do whatever it takes, and it turns out whatever it takes is Oskar. 
    Only, the more entangled our lives become, the more I see the Oskar he’s buried deep down. The one who hurts, the one who’s sensitive and kind, the one … the one I think I’m falling for. 
    I can’t have him and my career, and if rumors of the professional lines I’ve crossed get out, it’s not only my dream job I can kiss goodbye; I’ll be disgraced from professional sports completely.

    THE RESTAURANT SAN MARTÍN: The Restaurant San Martín in Mendoza did not appear to have changed at all in its ninety-five year history. It was still richly decorated and plushly upholstered in a hopelessly antique style, and Ernesto Galman revered it.
