Una novel·la trepidant farcida d’aventures protagonitzades per un grup de republicans espanyols, cada un amb una personalitat pròpia i molt marcada, que s’han aconseguit escapar del camp de concentració de Mauthausen i que ara segueixen la pista d’un company del camp per mirar de trobar la mítica espasa de Carlemany.

Aquesta novel·la històrica mostra una visió personal i propera de la Revolta de les quintes, una batalla que va sacsejar el país. Durant els primers dies d'abril de 1870, el poble va rebel·lar-se contra les lleves ordenades pel General Prim. A moltes ciutats va haver-hi combat, però a enlloc com a Barcelona: a la vila de Gràcia, prop del Passeig de Gracia, el poble va sagnar durant set llargs dies. I en mig d'aquesta guerra desoladora i cruel, una dona s'enfronta al seu destí per lluitar per allò en el que creu.

"Vents més salvatges" és una col·lecció de relats lleugers i, a la vegada, profunds. Contes que parlen de nenes, de mares, de tietes i d'àvies, que parlen de dones de l'actualitat i dones que van viure en temps passats. La prosa elegant de la Bel Olid s'endinsa en el conflicte personal i social i obre una finestra a diferents realitats. Parla de la foscor més intensa, de l'abús de poder, la violència i les forces institucionals que afecten els grups socials més marginats.
