Los logros militares, amorosos y políticos del venezolano Bolívar y del brasileño Abreu y Lima, en una novela que narra la turbulenta guerra por la independencia de la América Latina.
Aprisionado y amenazado de muerte por los portugueses, en 1817, el joven capitán José Ignacio de Abreu y Lima conseguió fuir del cárcel, en su país, y se fue a Venezuela, donde se alistó en el ejército del Libertador, Simón Bolívar. Y en los doce años siguientes lo siguió de cerca, participando de las durísimas campañas por la independencia y de las tumultuosas primeras experiencias de gobiernos autónomos en las antiguas colonias hispanoamericanas.
Tuvo, además, una agitada vida sentimental, incluyendo un romance prohibido con una sobriña de Bolívar que lo llevó a batirse en duelo y ser de nuevo recogido a la prisión.
Ha ejercido, aún, una larga actividad intelectual como periodista, polemista e historiador, siempre al lado "del pueblo que es depreciado cada instante". Y continuó batiéndose por sus ideales progresistas hasta después de su muerte, ocurrida en 1869, a pesar de haber sido nuevamente exiliado, ya como difunto.
Totalmente basada en hechos reales, esta novela da voz a este personaje para que él relate sus aventuras y pinte un vívido retrato de Simón Bolívar, entre los americanos el que más se acercó al "optimus civiles" de Cicerón: el ciudadano ideal, el líder de su pueblo, el que lee en la oscuridad.
A/N: Had a bout of inspiration; may edit and then republish some time later after finishing writing another story, since I'm more focused on my other book -- [BL] Videre -- at the moment. Nonetheless, cheers to good reading and writing~ I'll brew this story first. I wanted some sweet and fluff in contrast to my other work. Book cover is atrocious btw, I know, lolol. I'll change that when I'm more focused on it. Just ignore like I do. Hehe~

Yu Yan is a curious little thing. Bridal classes? Easy. Archery? Swordsmanship? Martial arts? Horseback riding? Are kidding him? His father is a General!
Unfortunately, Yu Yan had to marry the Emperor when his father, the mighty General, had died. With the pernicious palace life suffocating him, he had unexpectedly died before he could successfully run away.
Hm? But what's this? It isn't the end? He's not dead yet?
