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.

The Phoenix of Jerusalem: A King Baldwin IV Historical Fiction Novel by sinisterpotat0

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.

After the tragic loss of your parents, you're placed under the protection of Marcus-a powerful vampire they trusted with their lives. Hidden away from the chaos of the world, you've lived in the shadows, safe but sheltered. That is, until one fateful night tears you from your sanctuary... and into the path of John Wick.

Just for Him [Kylo Ren x Reader] by saamanthaaaxx

Please read warnings; this story is categorized for a mature audience. As a modest young woman living during the Regency Era in Hertfordshire, England, things had never felt right. That was until one evening, you came across the most charming gentleman you had the privilege of laying your eyes on, by the unique title of Commander Kylo Ren. You were his Angel, and that meant he had his own ways of possessing you, mind, body, and soul. But had Ren's shattering desires, secrets, and abilities been powerful enough to challenge everything you thought you knew about your life, and yourself? And more importantly, was there any way your souls would come back to each other? [Ultimately, if you read on, you will find that this is a love story taking place between two parallel universes.♥️] While this story begins in 1800s England, I've added a modern spin on that, especially in relation to the vocabulary, actions depicted by the characters, and plot development. The reason for that is because the linguistics of that time period is significantly outdated, and would not make sense for the rest of the story. The rights of all art, images, photography, and designs featured in this story go to their respective owners and creators. Your images helped shaped my content and imagery while writing and planning out scenes, plot ideas, and emotions during my creative process. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. While my ideal depiction of Kylo is someone who is soft, gentle, loving, and kind, there will be situations in this fic in which he is possessive, vulnerable, and emotionally unavailable. Constructive criticism is welcome, but I'm quite sensitive to anything deliberately hurtful, not helpful, or discouraging. My writing has a Mature rating for a reason. If you are not an adult (18+) or do not want to read explicit smut, please do not read my writing. This may potentially become part of a series called "Destiny Among Our Blurred Hearts."♥️

Heaven Can't Wait ۞ Baldwin IV by leperqueen

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‼️

Crown of Darkness | Baldwin IV by Alabai2137

In the heart of the powerful Kingdom of Zohari, Yasmina, daughter of King Adalryk III, rules with a mysterious strength that no one fully understands. After years of assisting her father, Zohari thrives under her hand, and her influence over the kingdom is unparalleled. But when King Baldwin IV of the Kingdom of Jerusalem arrives in Khalaszar, seemingly for negotiations, something unexpected begins to stir between him and Yasmina-something neither of them, nor their kingdoms, could have predicted. Beyond political intrigue and war strategy, Yasmina holds something that could save Baldwin's life-a mysterious cure for the leprosy that plagues the King of Jerusalem. As their paths cross and feelings begin to grow, their connection becomes entangled not only in power struggles but also in the hope of healing the curse that has bound Baldwin for years. Amid rising emotions and political maneuvering, Yasmina and Baldwin must decide what truly matters-loyalty to their kingdoms or a love that could destroy everything they have built. In this game of power and hearts, the stakes are higher than ever-for them and for the entire region.
