Description
THE HORDE
Book summary
This work is a fascinating journey through the centuries that reveals the existence of a secret war. Starting from a manuscript found after an explosion in London, the reader enters the history of The Horde, a constellation of rebel groups that have operated in the shadows. From 1623 Paris, with spies and conspiracies, to the present day, the book connects historical figures like Giordano Bruno or John Dee in a plot of suspense, espionage, and mystery that redefines the boundaries between real history and fiction.
What is it about?
The narrative begins in 1623 Paris, a city at war where spies lurk on every corner. There, the feared Awakened have put a price on the heads of the Invisibles, also known as the Occult University or the Invisible College, a faction of The Horde. The plot leaps to 1983 London, where the enigmatic Morgana disappears following the explosion of her apartment. Her legacy, the Morgana Manuscript, claims that The Horde has relied on agents throughout history, including figures such as Giordano Bruno, John Dee, René Descartes, Mikhail Bakunin, William S. Burroughs, or Alexander Trocchi. The manuscript maintains that this invisible war has not ended and continues to unfold in the present.
