Un Espejismo Dorado: La Expedición Perdida de Coronado is a sweeping historical novel that reimagines the legendary 16th-century journey of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold.
Set in the vast and untamed American Southwest, the novel follows Diego, a young man caught between two worlds, and the voices of Indigenous peoples determined to protect their traditions in the face of invasion. Through vivid landscapes, ancient ceremonies, and escalating conflict, the story explores ambition and belief, faith and violence, hope and devastation.
Richly atmospheric and deeply human, this epic narrative blends history, myth, and imagination to bring one of the most enigmatic expeditions in history to life. More than a tale of exploration, Un Espejismo Dorado asks a timeless question: Is the pursuit of a dream worth the price it demands?
The Translator's Note adds insight into the novel's sensitive portrayal of Indigenous cultures and its enduring relevance, highlighting themes of resilience, cultural collision, and the cost of ambition making this work resonate with modern readers as powerfully as its historical setting.
