Bleeding love✅
He was supposed to ruin her life, he fell in love instead. They were once childhood friends-before fate tore them apart. Now he is Sultan Murad, ruler of an empire built on loyalty, blood, and silence. She is Princess Alina of Castile, a foreign royal promised to a political future she never chose. When tragedy forces their worlds to collide again, old memories ignite into new defiance. He has vowed to protect his dynasty. She has vowed to protect hers. Their reunion should have ended in distance. Instead, it awakens something far more dangerous-forbidden longing, buried loyalty, and a love neither of them is allowed to claim. Enemies by circumstance. Lovers by destiny. And in a world where betrayal is punished by death, even a single glance could cost them everything. {not based on the real history}Complete

♔ THE DOVE AND THE MASKED KING ♔
Amicia wanted nothing more but peace. But peace is not given to princesses, especially not to the future bride of Baldwin VI of Jerusalem. She does not want to leave home, but she also does not want to disappoint her father, her kingdom. So she obeys and enters a marriage that feels so cold and distant. But what if the little dove with silver hair spreads her wings to comfort the aching king of Jerusalem? Will he let her in? Will she overlook his illness and see him for what he truly is? Or will this sanctuary that is slowly building in their hearts be tested and twisted by those who seek power?![𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐭 - 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐕 [𝐄𝐍𝐃]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/391111205-256-k187746.jpg)
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐭 - 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐕 [𝐄𝐍𝐃]
The story of the legendary and great leper king from the land of Jerusalem will always be a history that will never be forgotten. But what if in an alternate universe, the leper king actually lived a long life and even married the girl he loved? Would history have changed? In a reimagined Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, Hyacintha, a spirited Greek-Egyptian noblewoman, is taken into the royal court at the age of 12 by her father-and after her father's death, she growing up beneath the watchful eyes of King Baldwin IV. Behind his regal poise lies the burden of leprosy, a secret shared with few-yet Hyacintha, with her boundless heart and fierce loyalty, comes to learn the truth. As childhood companionship deepens into a forbidden love, she becomes Baldwin's sanctuary in a world of thrones, thorns, and hidden daggers. Defying court expectations, Hyacintha seeks to cure the king's affliction, delving into medicine and ancient healing. Against all odds, her devotion begins to restore what fate had taken, altering the course of the kingdom. But the palace is not kind to girls who dream too loudly. Viewed as unworthy of a crown, Hyacintha becomes the subject of scorn, political sabotage, and violent attempts to drive her away from Baldwin's side. Even the noble Balian, her closest friend, is drawn into the dark web of power plays and vendettas.

Heaven Can't Wait ۞ Baldwin IV
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".

Inheritance By Fire | King Baldwin IV
This is the second book in The Phoenix of Jerusalem series. At nineteen, King Baldwin IV wages war on three fronts: against the invaders beyond Jerusalem's walls, the factions fracturing his court, and the leprosy consuming him from within. Surrounded by unrest and racing against time, he leans on the one person who sees him beyond the crown or the illness: Ysolde, his brilliant physician and once-lost childhood friend, who returned for duty and found love. As the kingdom begins to fall, Baldwin and Ysolde fight to hold what remains, protect each other, and carve out the right to live on their own terms before all that they are - king, healer, city, and bond - is lost to fire and memory. ‼️Disclaimer: This novel is a work of historical fiction inspired by the life of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. While the character may be familiar from the film Kingdom of Heaven, this story draws instead from historical chronicles, medieval sources, and scholarly interpretation - seeking to explore Baldwin's legacy as it might have truly been lived.Complete

Years after their marriage, King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem and his beloved queen, Hyacintha of Argos, rule a kingdom balanced precariously between peace and peril. Their love, once kindled in youth, now flourishes within the golden walls of the palace, strengthened by hardship and crowned by their spirited daughter, Princess Nuala. But when a violent raid led by the ruthless Egyptian outlaw Hakim tears Hyacintha from the safety of her home, Jerusalem descends into chaos. As the queen is held captive among other stolen women and children, forced to witness cruelty and injustice, Baldwin must navigate war, politics, and heartbreak. As blood is spilled and secrets rise, the strength of a king's heart is tested, and a queen's resolve shines through pain and fire. Through battles and betrayals, they fight not only for each other-but for the soul of their kingdom. 𝐀 𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐭 - 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐕 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧.
