What if you wake up one morning and you find yourself in the court of King Balduin IV, the Leper King?
Note: The story is based more on the film Kingdom of Heaven (2005) than the real history, however it does not follow the filmscript completely and in some cases I used the historical facts, found in Bernard Hamilton's book about King Balduin IV (The Leper King and his heirs, 2005). Furthermore, some events and scenes were created by my fantasy only.
I hope you will enjoy my story!

Rendezvous in the Romanowskian Empire
"And... the fifth rule," he came forward, locking me between him and the slab again. "This should be the last time you talked to me like that," he lowered his face to my level, spiking my heart rate further. "Next time you rant on or call me by the name, I'll personally make sure to shut your lips," he whispered without a hint of casualness on his rugged face. "Will you follow the rules, Althea?" * * * When archaeological intern, Coretta Hayes, is transported to the fourth century BCE for a ground zero reporting, she discovers something that's unknown to the modern historians. The kingdom of Romanos. And she's over the moon when she manages to become its court writer, disguising herself behind the fake name of Althea Rosemary. But there's a problem. The kingdom's smouldering ruler, Julian Romanowski, is too interested in his newest court writer. And he wouldn't let her go anytime soon. *This is a newadult book ~ mild mature content* # Winner of Ambys 2024 in Favourite Historical fiction Novel # Featured on "Slow Burn" reading list of Wattpad Romance # Featured on "Echoes of the Past (Historical)" reading list of Wattpad TimeTravelمكتمِلة
Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.مكتمِلة

(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?

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.

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.

The Phoenix of Jerusalem | King Baldwin IV
‼️Previously completed. All 68 chapters currently being remastered.‼️ At eighteen, 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 believed lost to tragedy years ago. As political threats close in and his body continues to fail, Baldwin must confront an impossible truth: the cure for his dying soul may be the very woman fate once stole from him - and now returns. ⚠️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 primarily from medieval chronicles, historical sources, and scholarly interpretations - seeking to portray Baldwin's legacy as it might have truly been lived.
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".
