Sobre este título
What happens when one man dares to speak truth in the heart of an empire built on gold, faith, and conquest?
Fray Rodrigo de Ávila, a Dominican friar, witnesses the vast Spanish Empire stretch across continents, yet sees not glory, but the human cost of ambition. In the Council of the Indies, he condemns the brutality of the conquistadors and the empire's moral corruption. He expects exile, censure, or death, but instead, the crown summons him as a reluctant adviser, placing the weight of conscience squarely on his shoulders.
Through whispered counsel, shadowed threats, and the subtle machinery of power, Rodrigo navigates a world where silence can be more lethal than swords. Centuries later, he confronts the ghosts of Cortés, Pizarro, and the sovereigns they shattered: Montezuma and Atahualpa. Through them, he learns that history remembers not only the conquerors, but also those who resist forgetting.
Whispers of Empire is a sweeping fictional historical novel of ambition, faith, and conscience. From Madrid’s gilded halls to the sacred temples of the Americas, it asks: what is the cost of silence, and what courage does it take to speak truth?
