Siglo XVII, norte de España. Un inquisidor, una bruja y algunos hechizos. Una novela vibrante que recupera la fuerza de la tradición mágica de nuestra cultura.
En 1610, en Logroño, han sido condenadas a la hoguera once personas acusadas de brujería. Sin embargo, amplias zonas del señorío de Vizcaya y Navarra siguen sufriendo la presencia del demonio y sus secuaces...
Para tranquilizar al pueblo, el Santo Oficio envía a Alonso de Salazar y Frías, un inquisidor secretamente descreído: ha perdido la fe en Dios y no cree en el diablo ni en las brujas. Su historia se va a cruzar irremediablemente con la de la joven Mayo, que recorre los caminos vendiendo hechizos y ensalmos. A lo largo de su viaje, ambos tendrán que enfrentarse a poderes perversos que sembrarán su paso de obstáculos, así como a la muerte de las personas que más aman en el mundo.
Una trama apasionante que recupera la fuerza de la tradición mágica de nuestra cultura, en la que está implicada incluso la élite del poder político y religioso del Siglo de Oro, y que se basa en un episodio de nuestra historia que quedó documentado y misteriosamente olvidado en los sótanos del Santo Oficio durante casi tres siglos...
Reseñas:
«Una novela que nos lleva al pasado, a los tiempos oscuros en los que unos pocos controlaban la vida de muchos, en los que aún pervivían en las zonas rurales la creencia en el diablo y en el poder de la magia. Nerea Riesco nos introduce en ese mundo donde la realidad y la ficción se mezclan hasta confundirse y nos hace sentir parte de ambas.»

Nerea Riesco es escritora y periodista. Nacida en Bilbao, creció en Valladolid y con dieciocho años se instaló en Sevilla, ciudad en la que se licenció en periodismo, actividad que compagina con su trabajo en diferentes medios de comunicación. En la actualidad continúa colaborando en prensa y radio, e imparte talleres de creación literaria. En el 2002 publicó su primer libro de relatos, Ladrona de almas. Y dos años más tarde ganó el IX Premio Ateneo Joven de novela de Sevilla con El país de las mariposas. Su siguiente novela, Ars magica, (Grijalbo, 2007), finalista al prestigioso Premio Espartaco 2008, y luego El elefante de marfil (Grijalbo, 2010) se han traducido al alemán, italiano, finlandés, ruso, portugués, polaco, checo, danés, serbio, eslovaco, rumano y holandés, y la han convertido en una de las voces más personales de la narración histórica tanto para el público como para la crítica especializada. Su última obra, Las puertas del paraíso, supone la consagración definitiva de la autora en el terreno de la novela histórica.
