Al-Andalus 1183. Lluna Valentia bint Al Mualim De Bosch is a Spanish/Moorish noble, fruit of an interfaith union that hoped to unite two conflicting faiths of the Iberian Peninsula. However, hope is a dream and the reality is that the family's influence, wealth, and titles are in danger with the constant friction between the Almohad Caliphate and the Christians wishing to retake their Iberian land. At nineteen, Valentia is the only remaining daughter to be wed and their only hope to salvage their social standing. At the other side of the Mediterranean, the terminally young King of Jerusalem fears for the future of his kingdom and his struggle to provide a successor that will lead in example. In a last act of hope, or desperation, word is sent out that the King looks for a betrothed. Many countries receive the news, but few people are eager to answer. Yet in Al Andalus, it means a seizable opportunity for a certain family. It is no doubt a convenient solution for both sides. But the convenience is flawed, complicated. Because of the King's illness, it remains to be seen whether there is a point to it all. And, after all, nobody asked what Lady Valentia thought about the whole situation. Can this unwilling bride give her life and love away to a leper? And what is that which makes her the only one who could? Something far more sinister than a disease lurks ahead. Factions and alliances will either cooperate or sow discord. With such chaos, even the most unlikely of alliances may not be out of reach for this Kingdom. //the mature tag does NOT indicate smǔt, it indicates violence, blood, and heavy topics (and perhaps mildly spicy scenes (but no smǔt)) More disclaimers and warnings inside King Baldwin IV x OC || This is a long-fic and slow-burn so that's why the pace is so "slow".

"I've always believed fate brought us together, my dear. I am sorry that death will tear us apart." Y/N comes from Constantinople to Jerusalem to find refuge. She finds herself rising to be a queen instead.

Up in the sky, in a world woven from myths and lies, lives a goddess on an island. She is Persephone-the beautiful Persephone-daughter of Demeter, desired by every Olympian god. But when she disappears, the whole pantheon begins to fray. Above, Demeter must battle for her own freedom-from the ghosts of her past-if she is to see her daughter again. Below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of the Blest, Persephone is hidden-entrusted by Zeus to Hades, the mourning king of the underworld, who sees no freedom from the shadow of a lost love. Isolated and caged again, Persephone is no longer a prize to be claimed, but a prisoner with many secrets. And she's not waiting to be saved. When freedom is the only thing left to fight for, even gods will burn the world. This is the first book in the 'Triple Moons Chronicles' series. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.
