In the golden light of a crumbling kingdom, King Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, entrusts his life to a physician unlike any other - a brilliant woman from the East who bears a face he thought lost to time.
Ten years ago, a tragedy stole her from Jerusalem - and from him. Baldwin grieved her as one mourns a ghost of childhood. Now, she returns in secret, cloaked in a healer's robes, bearing the weight of a past neither can escape.
As political threats mount and his body falters, Baldwin must confront an impossible truth: the cure for his dying soul may be the very woman fate once stole - and now gives back.

‼️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.

Heaven Can't Wait ۞ Baldwin IV by leperqueen
21 parts Ongoing Mature
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" ALSO AVAILABLE ON AO3‼️

Christa Daae is the youngest of the Daae sisters and the one with the lower voice. She was taught by the Phantom longer than Christine and he fell in love with her. What happens now? I don't own The Phantom of the Opera. I only own this story and my character.
