I am a HUGE fan of historical fiction but as this genre is not very popular (as compared to romance or teen fiction), not many people know about these hidden gems. These books might have less views or reads (and therefore people think that they might not be good) but trust me when I say this that these are some of the best handpicked and fun-filled historical books that you'll read here. Give them a try they definitely won't disappoint you. All the books mentioned here are my favorites so I won't be writing special things about them individually. These are all the best ones according to me and I know you'll enjoy them. :) After having spend so much time here and have read many books, I've decided to sort them according to how I view them. To read some best books and my favorites, you can visit my profile for my other reading lists :) Share the books if you too think that these deserve to be read. *I don't have any specific update schedule. *All the credits to their mentioned owners.

A novel set in Cordoba X century during the Umayyad dynasty. Among historical figures such as Al-Mansur (Almanzor) and the Sultana Subh or Aurora, using her Latin name, mingle fictional characters interwoven with historical facts that will make you go through loves, betrayals, emotions, and the dangers of Muslim splendor of time during the Islamic conquest of Hispania in century X. Two plots run in parallel; the first involves the attempt to rescue the power of Hisham II, overshadowed by Al-Mansur's (Almanzor) ambition, and the second in the intricacies of the famous Al-Zahara Palace Library when the discovery of a manuscript of the Koran can change the destiny of Islam and its faithful. The Sierra de Guadarrama is a mountain range of the Central System (mountain range of the center of the Iberian Peninsula) and was south of this chain of mountains that stood the Muslim domains based in Cordoba.
