What happens when the heart of the world begins to beat with fear?

In 1100 B.C., Tartessos shines like the sun at its zenith. From the bustling ports of Gadir and Onuba to the rich mines of Riotinto, metal flows like water and wealth seems eternal. But beneath the surface of this golden age, the earth and the sea are awakening.

Baelios, a seasoned Phoenician navigator, feels the winds shifting. Imilce, the High Guardian of the Fire at the sanctuary of Cancho Roano, has been struck by a terrifying vision: a mountain of water devouring the sacred flame and erasing entire cities from the map. Meanwhile, in the red hills of Riotinto, the master smelter Argantonios discovers a metal that glows like the sun-just as the earth's veins begin to run dry.

The Twilight of the Western Sun is a sweeping historical odyssey that intertwines the lives of sailors, priestesses, warriors, and slaves in the final days of the most enigmatic civilization of Antiquity. Based on archaeological research and the myth of the unearthed Atlantis, this novel immerses you in a world of ancestral rituals, maritime trade, and humanity's desperate struggle against the implacable forces of nature.

When the sea recedes and the earth trembles, who will survive to tell the story of the sunset of Tartessos?

The sea gives and the sea takes. But if you respect it, perhaps it will let you live one more day.

Tartessos: the metallic heart of the ancient world. A place where silver springs from the mountains and ships bring treasures from unknown horizons. But glory is as fleeting as the dusk. Through the eyes of a navigator who knows every star and a priestess who interprets the whispers of the gods, we witness the end of an era. A story of ambition, faith, and survival in the face of the imminent cataclysm that sank an empire into oblivion.
