Born in Madrid in 1978, he studied Business Management at Seville University and since then has been linked to the financial sector, specialising in private banking and personalised advice. Always more interested in numbers than letters, fate nonetheless had a surprise in store for him he hadn't counted on. Someone told him about a brilliant historical character who was victim to a great injustice that marked his life forever. His curiosity led him to research the man, and one night in July, almost without realising it, he started writing this novel.

Jacobo Fernández is from Galicia, and this can be seen in his work. After studying fine art he returned to his city, where he earns his living drawing, writing and painting.

As a comic artist he has worked for several magazines, winning recognition in 2007 with the Castelao Comic Prize for his Adventures of Cacauequi. He was also nominated as revelation author of 2008 at Expocomic in Madrid and by the Salon of the Comic in Barcelona.
