El enigma del scriptorium

More about the book

Toledo, 13th century. Francisca, a fifteen-year-old orphan, owes her privilege of being an apprentice in the royal scriptorium of Alfonso X the Wise to her talent as a draftsman. She faces the looming shadow of a convent she does not wish to enter, even if it means abandoning her training. However, in a city filled with court intrigues and inhabited by people of three religions, it is easy for much darker shadows to emerge.
