In the 16th century, the Cerro Rico of Potosi was the heart of
the world. An unending supply of silver flowed from through its
veins and spilled out onto the thousands of adventurers that
finished the Carrera de las Indias in one of the most
inhospitable parts of the earth.
This historical novel follows step by step the paths of some of
the protagonists and describes, for the first time, the wars
between Basques and Castillans, suprisingly unknown despite their
ferocity and importance.
