In the year 842 AD, the kingdom of Asturias is at a crossroads. King Alfonso II, on the verge of death, designates Ramiro as his heir, but a faction of the aristocracy conspires against him with the help of the emir of Córdoba, Abderramán II. Amidst this intrigue, the knight Hernán de Mena seeks Paterna, Ramiro's betrothed. 'The Kingdom of the North' is a historical novel that narrates a real episode: the palace coup against Ramiro and the battle of Cornellana, where the kingdom of Asturias played its destiny. José Javier Esparza weaves a plot of hopes, passions and ambitions in medieval Spain.
