Summary Two brothers born into Catalan nobility take divergent paths in life, while Guifré travels to the new world and lives for eleven years among the Aztecs, his brother Domènich joins the court of Carlos I after a brilliant career in the church.
Nítido retrato de cómo se vivía en medio de los importantísimos acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar a principios del siglo XVI, En tierra de dioses nos lleva por un recorrido vital que abarca ambos lados del Atlántico, yendo de Vic a la Española y a Tenochitlán, y de Barcelona, a Santiago de Compostela, Sevilla y Tordesillas. Novela de choques culturales tejidos entre las grandes ambiciones y los pequeños hechos cotidianos, En tierra de dioses es también la historia del enfrentamiento, tan sanguinario como enriquecedor, de dos credos y dos visiones del mundo.
