Barcelona, 1957. It is the week before Christmas in the Sempere & Sons bookshop. Daniel Sempere is happily married to Bea, and they have a son, whilst their partner Fermin is soon to marry Bernarda. Luck, finally, seems to be smiling on them. Then a mysterious person enters the shop, buys the most expensive volume on display — an illustrated edition of The Count of Monte Cristo — and inscribes in it the words 'For Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from among the dead and holds the key to the future. 13'. Who is he? What does he want? The answer lies in a terrible secret, hidden for two decades. ..a tale of imprisonment, betrayal, murder- and love, leading back into the heart of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.

Work Description

Barcelona, 1957. Daniel Sempere y su amigo Fermín, los héroes de La Sombra del Viento, regresan de nuevo a la aventura para afrontar el mayor desafío de sus vidas.

Justo cuando todo empezaba a sonreírles, un inquietante personaje visita la librería de Sempere y amenaza con desvelar un terrible secreto que lleva enterrado dos décadas en la oscura memoria de la ciudad.

Al conocer la verdad, Daniel comprenderá que su destino le arrastra inexorablemente a enfrentarse con la mayor de las sombras: la que está creciendo en su interior.

Rebosante de intriga y emoción, El Prisionero del Cielo es una novela magistral donde los hilos de La Sombra del Viento y El Juego del Ángel convergen a través del embrujo de la literatura y nos conduce hacia el enigma que se oculta en el corazón de El Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados.
