About this audiobook
Five hours. One city under siege. One father torn between betrayal and love.
Zaragoza, March 1838. Joaquín Espés, a weary blacksmith with a war-torn past, is given an impossible choice: sabotage the city's defenses or watch his son die at the hands of his former comrades. As the cannons roar and the bells toll, Joaquín is pulled into the deadliest hours of his life—haunted by broken promises, consumed by guilt, and driven by the only force he has left: a father's love.
Five Hours to Freedom is a powerful historical novel about sacrifice, redemption, and the blurred lines between loyalty and survival. In the darkest moments, even the coldest iron can burn.
Perfect for readers of Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Ken Follett, and anyone who believes that war stories are never just about war.
