En los albores del siglo octavo, un bebé es abandonado a la puerta de un pequeño monasterio dúplice, donde se cría felizmente entre la comunidad religiosa hasta que conoce a Lea, una joven judía. Desde aquel encuentro, la tranquila existencia del joven Juan se verá arrastrada por nuevos senderos que le abrirán los ojos, más allá del discurrir de su placentera existencia. Juan conocerá a diversos personajes que irán marcando su personalidad. Entre ellos Elipando, obispo de Toledo, y su enemigo en asuntos teológicos, el Beato de Liébana. También trabará estrecha amistad con el joven Alfonso, que llegará a ser rey de Asturias, y hasta asistirá a la proclamación de Carlomagno como emperador del Sacro Imperio Germánico. Una apasionante vida repleta de aventuras y desventuras, con el sempiterno amor a Lea como telón de fondo, en una época convulsa en la que se tejían los finos hilos de una nueva Europa.
