Description

In this vivid collection of original historical legends, the listener is transported to the mist‑laden hills of 8th‑century Asturias, where the royal court of Pravia still clings to the fading glory of the Visigothic kingdom. The opening scene unfolds in an octagonal hall, its stone walls adorned with trophies of past battles, while spring sunlight filters through wide windows, illuminating a young noblewoman and a striking young man. Their striking appearances—her pale, golden‑tressed beauty and his dark, fierce eyes—are rendered in rich, sensory detail, inviting the audience into a world of courtly intrigue and looming conflict.

Against a backdrop of Arab incursions and the lingering memory of Pelayo’s triumphs, the two characters stand silent, each bearing the weight of their lineage and the expectations of a kingdom on the brink. Their quiet exchange hints at an emerging bond that may be tested by loyalty, duty, and the looming threat of war. Listeners will feel the tension between love’s gentle promise and the harsh reality of a realm drenched in blood and honor.
