In Los hijos de Adán, the second instalment of the saga, Eva García Sáenz de Urturi returns with a bold narrative that spans millennia, exploring the lives of “the long-lived” — beings who transcend ordinary time. The story opens in 23,000 B.C., with Lür wandering a glaciated Europe seeking the legendary clan “Children of Adam” and their ageless matriarch Adana. Fast-forward to 800 A.D. in Denmark, where Gunnarr is initiated into berserker mercenaries, and then to 1620 in New England aboard the Mayflower, where Urko arrives at Plymouth and meets Manon Adams, setting in motion threads of destiny and vengeance. Meanwhile, in present-day Santander, Iago del Castillo and Adriana’s hard-won peace is shattered by the appearance of Gunnarr’s son — blonde, brutal, bent on revenge for a battle fought in 1602. The past, as the tagline warns, always returns. That return threatens the old family and forces them to face truths suppressed for centuries. Urturi weaves rich historical detail with mythic scale and modern thriller pace: from Viking berserkers to early-colonial America, from glacial wilderness to the sharp coast of Cantabria. Themes of immortality, identity, vengeance and time intertwine. This is not merely a fantasy saga but a sweeping exploration of legacy — what it means to live beyond the ordinary, and what it costs when the past catches up. Ideal for readers of historical fantasy, speculative thrillers and epic sagas. The hardcover first edition from Planeta (2025) offers 336 pages of high-stakes drama that asks: if you have lived for centuries, how do you choose to die — or to fight?
