    Princess Isabelle Maria of France was never meant for the desert. Born into the cold, crisp northern forests, she spent her childhood sleeping under the stars, mapping terrain, and swearing she would remain a virgin forever rather than become a disposable breeding mare for the arrogant lords of Europe. She required a soul connection-and she refused to lower her standards. But when a desperate geopolitical alliance forces her into a marriage with the sixteen-year-old Leper King, Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Isabelle prepares for the worst. Instead, she finds a husband who hands her the one thing she never expected: total respect, bodily autonomy, and a razor-sharp wit that matches her own high intellect. To the treacherous Crusader court, they are a silent, tragic political match. But behind the heavy oak doors of the royal chambers, away from the venomous whispers of Lady Sibylla and the arrogance of Guy de Lusignan, a private universe forms. Surrounded by secret coded letters from her childhood friend Yasmine -the daughter of Sultan Saladin- and the chaotic antics of her lady-in-waiting Claire, Isabelle drops her regal mask. Behind the heavy velvet gowns of the "Dragon Queen" lies a fierce, hopelessly romantic woman who is slowly, utterly falling for the soul behind the silver mask. In a kingdom built on sand and vipers, a miracle is about to bloom. But as the shadows of war and illness grow closer, the Queen of Jerusalem will have to weaponize her mind, her sword, and her heart to protect the King she was never supposed to love.

    She grapples with obedience and defiance. With faith and secrets. She is the daughter of a crusader who will go down in history... infamously. But what of her? What of her escape from him and the journey that follows? A journey that will take her to her father's foe. The most powerful warrior and conqueror the lands have seen in many years. The Sultan who grants victory. Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub. ~ Assalaamu Alaykum This is a story that will try to adhere to being as halal as possible for the sake of authenticity and accuracy with the pertinent characters and their actions according to the context of the era and the religion. But while I am religious and all three main Abrahamic religions are part of my faith (in a sense I am ecumenical with all 3) I am therefore non-denominational so I don't practice Islam or the others in complete adherence to all tenets and rituals. So as a writer with passion for certain eras and historical figures, I take liberty in writing stories about them, with no intention to offend these people or anyone else, and I can't promise every little detail will be accurate or always halal (maybe sometimes there is haram intentionally because of certain characters personalities). Keep this in mind before reading. Graphic content warning: strong language, and blood and violence only

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Context that no one reads♥ The five Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes is all about romance defying social construct. A chivalry, courageous and honourable type, conveying courtly love and national unity. I had only found out about this poetry book very late but coincidentally it complimented the story brilliantly, so I have featured it in this piece. I decided to name this book after all five novels, calling this the 6th Arthurian Romances, as it is also set in that time. Essentially, it is about love between two different classes. As you know they took King's bloodlines very seriously as well as the hierarchy in the 12th century. But what if this king, like the Knight of Lion and the Knight of Cart, followed their hearts rather than society?

    In a land divided by war and faith, a scarred king and a foreign healer are brought together by necessity, but held in place by something far deeper. Set in a vaguely medieval world shaped by cultural conflict and quiet rebellion, 'The Bronze Mask' follows the slow-burning romance between King Ovid, a war-weary ruler marked by illness and isolation, and Anula, a foreign healer whose knowledge challenges his beliefs. Bound by duty and drawn by something neither can name, their relationship unfolds in the quiet spaces between suspicion and surrender. As love blooms in the shadow of tragedy, they must confront not only their differences, but the inevitability of what lies ahead. A melancholic tale of intimacy, dignity, and the quiet acceptance of fate. *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Author's note: While The Bronze Mask is an original work of fiction, the character of King Ovid was loosely inspired by the tragic figure of King Baldwin IV. I encountered his portrayal in passing, and though I haven't deeply engaged with the historical records or cinematic depictions, something about his story-a ruler enduring leprosy with stoicism-resonated with me. This novel is not a fan fiction, but a separate narrative built on that single thread of inspiration.

    For readers of romantic fantasy novels about medieval knights and true love. Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (French: Baudouin) was one of the most peculiar young kings of his era, noted for his incredible courage and fortitude. Despite a serious illness - leprosy - that struck him as a child, he led successful military campaigns, was beloved by his crusader knights, and respected by his adversaries. Unfortunately, due to his dangerous illness, the king left no offspring. Almost nothing is known about his relationships with women. What might have been the fate of this courageous and wise ruler if he had received effective treatment in time and had met a worthy companion to share his earthly happiness. The fan fiction genre allows us to construct an alternative scenario with a happy ending and enjoy a satisfying story.

    "Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon." Juliette Elnour is a legacy. But does she know in what way? This is what she sets out to search for in Jerusalem. A task made challenging by the conflict seething all around. This strife will be the least of her obstacles, she realizes, when she is sucked into a similar conflict... in a very different time. Presumed to be someone she is not by her hasty choice of gear, Juliette will become that someone, eventually blurring these identities and realities. Little by little and by pure chance, she will end up by the side of the King of Jerusalem. This closeness will make Juliette wonder whether someone who wears a mask will easily see through another who also hides in plain sight. King Baldwin IV x OC Assassin's Creed-inspired universe based on my dream concept of a new Crusades AC, a true return to the roots. But not an Assassin's Creed fanfic itself-it is my own work. This is like a separate romance tale that sort of takes place in the general idea of this fan concept universe, but the actual fan concept is not about this, does not include this romance or plot, and some characters may be from this story but not from the concept. A bit confusing, but it is what it is xd PROJECT (temporary synopsis and book cover)

    A collection of Y/N-centered oneshots based on Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Unlike my other work in this same genre, any historical figures present in these fics are 90% the way they appear in this film, instead of an even mix of historical and fiction. As such, they are definitely more fantasy than reality and are intended to be read as such. Previously posted on my Tumblr.
