Summary
"Catalonia, 15th century. Alamanda, sold as a slave by her own father when she was still just a child, discovers in the library of Sant Benet monastery, between the shelves of for bidden books, the secret of the most wonderful color that humanity has ever been able to create: purple. Symbol of emperors, popes and kings, a thousand times more expensive than gold, purple was the forger of commercial empires in ancient times, but the technique to obtain this pigment was inexplicably lost in the mist of time. Only a girl will be able to restore the color of the Empire to the world. From walled and guild Barcelona to thriving Venice, from ostentatious and decadent Constantinople to the ruins of Tire, the epic journey and success of a single woman in a man's world astonishes everyone and places her at the center of intrigues of the most powerful."--, Catalogers abridgment, translation, and interpretation of the back cover
