Hispania, siglo XII. Encadenados a los designios del Destino, los \u00faltimos miembros de la dinast\u00eda Ximena se enfrentan desesperadamente a una anunciada extinci\u00f3n. Ellos, que hab\u00edan sido los principales actores de la Reconquista desde la ca\u00edda del Califato de C\u00f3rdoba, ven ahora reducidos sus dominios al feudo natal de la estirpe: Navarra. No hace tanto corr\u00edan mejores tiempos para ellos. Apenas medio siglo atr\u00e1s la familia tambi\u00e9n gobernaba Castilla-Le\u00f3n y Arag\u00f3n, pero estos reinos ya han cambiado de casa real, y miran con avidez el mapa donde se indica qu\u00e9 comarcas navarras se anexionar\u00e1n una vez que el Viejo Reyno sea invadido y repartido. Sumergidos en la lucha por su propia supervivencia, los miembros de la familia real navarra no se percatar\u00e1n de que, infiltrados entre sus principales consejeros, se encuentran tambi\u00e9n los postreros miembros de otra dinast\u00eda antiqu\u00edsima que se enfrentan a un dilema similar: evitar su desaparici\u00f3n. En pos de lograr alianzas que contrarresten las amenazas externas, y a\u00fan a costa de su felicidad, las \u00faltimas infantas Ximenas se ver\u00e1n obligadas a contraer matrimonios de conveniencia con miembros de la m\u00e1s alta realeza europea. El sacrificio personal de sus hermanas permitir\u00e1 al \u00faltimo rey navarro aut\u00f3ctono llegar, contra todo pron\u00f3stico, a la frontera con el siglo XIII relativamente indemne. Pero la dicha no ser\u00e1 duradera y, tras la campa\u00f1a de Las Navas de Tolosa, Ximenos y sus consejeros, unidos por las circunstancias pero separados por los medios y formas, se convencer\u00e1n de que se encuentran en su encrucijada final. Ancianos, dispersos y debilitados solo les queda un camino a seguir: encontrar a alguien a quien ceder su legado. Una b\u00fasqueda que les llevar\u00e1 a sufrir las m\u00e1s amargas experiencias de su azarosa existencia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
