La historia de la mujer que inspiró a J. R. R. Tolkien uno de sus personajes más famosos de El señor de los anillos: la elfa Galadriel.

Ningún fan de Tolkien puede perderse esta novela.

En el 50 aniversario de la muerte de J.R.R Tolkien, Alicia García Herrera ha escrito una emocionante novela que desvela el origen de uno de los mayores fenómenos literarios del siglo XX: El Señor de los Anillos.


Una bella historia de piedad, redención y amor que se prolongará más allá de la muerte.

Frente del Somme, octubre de 1916. Tras el ataque a la trinchera Regina el oficial de señales J. R. R. Tolkien enferma de fiebre quintana. Las condiciones de debilidad extrema en las que se encuentra hacen que sea evacuado al hospital número uno de la Cruz Roja, ubicado en el Casino de Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. Allí es atendido por la enfermera voluntaria Gala Eliard, una fascinante aristócrata que huye de un pasado tormentoso y a la que le impulsa la necesidad de salvar la vida de al menos un solo hombre. El breve encuentro entre ambos, que tiene lugar durante tan solo ocho días, cambiará para siempre el mundo creativo del escritor y encenderá la chispa que inspirará la creación de uno de sus personajes más poderosos, la elfa Galadriel, y del que será uno de los mayores fenómenos literarios del siglo XX.

Alicia García-Herrera, doctora por la Universitat de València y máster, se ha dedicado habitualmente al ámbito de la investigación en ciencias sociales y humanas.

Tolkien, es su primera novela.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The story of the woman who inspired one of J. R. R. Tolkien's most famous characters in The Lord of the Rings the elf Galadriel.

No Tolkien fan can miss this novel.

On the 50th anniversary of J. R. R. Tolkien's passing, Alicia García-Herrera has written an exciting novel that reveals the origin of one of the greatest literary phenomena of the twentieth century: The Lord of the Rings.

A beautiful story of mercy, redemption, and love that will last long after death.

Front at the Somme, October 1916. After Regina Trench was attacked, signal officer J. R. R. Tolkien falls ill with quintan fever. Due to his extreme weakness, he is evacuated to hospital number one of the Red Cross, at the Le Touquet-Paris-Plage Casino. There he is cared for by nurse Gala Eliard, a fascinating aristocrat running from a troubled past, driven by the need to save the life of at least one man. Their brief encounter, which lasts only eight days, would forever change the author's creative world and spark his inspiration to create one of the most powerful characters, the elf Galadriel, in what would become one of the greatest literary phenomena of the twentieth century.

Alicia García-Herrera has a masters degree and a doctorate by the Universitat de València, and has devoted her work mostly to social and human sciences research. She collaborates in the culture section of La Vanguardia journal and its supplement, Revista de Letras. She has also collaborated with literary magazines such as Quimera, La Retaguardia, Mercurio, and Crátera, apart from being a lecturer. In 2017, she received the first narrative award given by the Dirección General de l'Institut Valencià per les Dones i per la Igualtat de Gènere, with her story "Progreso Street 36, For Sale." She has written two law essays and the informational work That Was Not in My Greek Mythology Book (Almuzara, 2021). The White Lady (Plaza & Janés, 2023), about writer J. R. R. Tolkien, is her first novel.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.

Unexpectedly emotional and packed with action!
Format: Kindle
Why do I suddenly want nothing more than a tiny wyvern to snuggle with?! It’s adorable and I absolutely love all of those moments! Wings of Stars was everything I’ve come expect from this powerful author duo. The fact that it’s written by two different people is completely transparent to the reader and they’ve brought us another world and characters that we’re all emotionally connected to and fully invested in! The injustice that we see from Alfemir in the many forms in which it comes is infuriating and makes me desperate for the conclusion of the story so they can all get what’s coming to them! I love all the guys right now, with one exception, and if you’re read it, you know exactly who I’m talking about. Bastian is hilarious - he was the comedic relief through an otherwise quite serious story. My heart bleeds for him and I can’t wait to see how he progresses through the series. Parts of Wings of Stars were unexpectedly emotional and of course I was left with my jaw on the floor at that cliffhanger! Next, please!

Niz !!!
Format: Kindle
First, let me say that I love both of these authors. I have been hooked by both ever since I discovered their writings, and I follow their social media groups closely. This book did not disappoint. Sure, there are several questions that I have, a couple of times I went huh (which I won't get into because I do not want to offer any spoilers) and I hated the cliff hanger lol, but I cannot lie and say I didn't love the book, because I did. The twist on angels was new and fresh, even though that is part of my questions. The beginning and ending were the better parts, the middle was needed but sorta bogged a little. Kieran was confusing but relatable. Niz is BY FAR the best character of the book, love NIZ. For me, Bastian is a close second, always loved the crazy ones. The other men were good, but Steele gets on my nerves and as of right now, IMO, he doesn't belong, but we will see how that goes. I have lots of questions, but this was an excellent start to a new series and I cannot wait for the next book. Highly recommend

fallen destiny? more like destined to fall in love
Format: Kindle
Kieran is an angel, but she doesn't have an affinity. Nothing angers her father more. If she doesn't find an affinity soon she will be cast to earth & have her wings removed. But she has the choice to become a fallen angel, wings turn black, & live her life on edge. Towards the end of the book things start to make sense. Gabe’s nickname for Kieran, Steele’a hatred, Bastian’s belief that Kieran is powerful. This book ended literally during a war? As one of her friends was injured, and admitted a bit secret? Talk about cliff hanger. The next book comes out August 5th.

Well holy moly!
Format: Kindle
Holy moly that story definitely had me hooked! Kieran was definitely a character that I immediately adored. She has obviously had to deal with a butt load of too high expectations from her father (who is 🤬).. She has been helpless when it came to finding out her affinity with so many years of no answers & perceived failure. When Ronan, gives her a small inkling of hope that she be a Beast Tamer, she jumps into it. But again she doesn’t seem to fit. But when she runs into Gabe again, she ends up helping him & rethinking her life in Alfemir. And when the opportunity comes she decides leaving is the best option. But when Ronan demands he comes with her & then the random appearance of Bastian, she is feeling very overwhelmed. After she chooses to fall with them, they land on earth exactly where Gabe is located only to run into Steele who is a person that I was finding hard to like. After training, she eventually finds out she does have an affinity & it’s one that no longer exist & is incredibly powerful but also has a prophecy attached to it. I feel incredibly bad for her on she learns about the prophecy & Steele’s connection with it too. But that ending, with the battle scene & Niz….yeah definitely was not expecting that but hello I am all here for it too! Absolutely amazing start of a series & I for sure will be waiting for the next one to come out. Amazing job!
