In a post-apocalyptic future, North America has become Panem–a collection of twelve districts surrounding a prosperous Capitol City. Each year, as punishment for a long-ago rebellion, the Capitol selects one boy and one girl from each district to compete in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death. When Primrose, Katniss’s younger sister, is among the two names called from District 12, Katniss volunteers to take her sister’s place. After all, it’s her skill with a bow and arrow that has put food on the family table since their father’s death. But can Katniss, who is willing to risk her life to save her sister’s, learn to kill humans the same way she hunts–without mercy?

El 1 de noviembre de 1700 muere en Madrid, sin descendencia, Carlos II. Este hecho desencadena la terrible Guerra de Sucesión por la Corona del Imperio español. La casa de Borbón y la casa de Habsburgo se disputan el trono vacío. Las potencias europeas se ponen rápidamente en movimiento para hacer valer sus intereses. Unas defienden al candidato francés, Felipe de Anjou, mientras otras prefieren la opción del archiduque austriaco Carlos. España también acaba dividiéndose en dos. Castilla, Navarra y Andalucía apoyan la causa borbónica, mientras que los reinos de la Corona de Aragón se inclinan por el archiduque. Pero, además, en los territorios de Valencia la guerra toma tintes de revolución social. Los campesinos y los gremios de artesanos ven llegado el momento de acabar con las injusticias de los poderosos. En medio de tanta turbulencia, destaca la figura de Juan Bautista Basset, el hijo de un humilde carpintero que pudo haber cambiado el rumbo de la historia.

En la primavera del año 1808, las tropas de Napoleón invaden España. Ante la imposibilidad de hacer frente en campo abierto a un invasor tan poderoso, los españoles se ven obligados a poner en práctica la guerra de guerrillas. Miles de hombres se organizan en partidas, hermanados por el sentimiento del honor, la lealtad a la Corona y el odio ancestral a los franceses. En poco tiempo el país entero se convierte en un inmenso campo de batalla. Uno de los soldados más destacados de la contienda es José Romeu, un hombre sencillo dotado de un valor y una inteligencia táctica excepcionales que, al mando de una partida de combatientes hostigados por la desesperación, logra poner en jaque a todo el ejército napoleónico y alcanzar la dignidad de mito.
