Histórica
In the heart of a Spanish city carved from stone, a suppressed rebellion is forming, threatening to show its colours. Long held from practicing their religion or culture, the Moriscos, Muslims forcefully converted to Catholicism, steep the pain and anger for their suffering, and it's not only their deceptively small community of Galera. Whispers of a second rebellion are turning in the air, and the King is preparing himself. Judur, a stonecarver apprentice, uncomfortable with the rising resentment, fears for her people the same bloody fate the first, unsuccessful, rebellion gave. When the rebellion rises, and her people systematically slaughtered, Judur sees it's much, much worse than she imagined. Now on the run, Judur journeys across Spain, passing by Granada and slipping in and out of Cordoba. Unsure of where to go and with no family, Judur decides Al-Maghrib is her only haven. As she treks, the stonecarver's apprentice meets, befriends, and assists those ranging from beggary to royalty, and slowly weaves her way through the intricate maze of the Castilian Crown. *Description is, as always subject to change. This is an extremely rough idea in my head (as excited as I am to venture into it) so it's going to be a slow process.*

READERS' FAVORITE FIVE STAR AWARD WINNER - As the daughter of a strong English baron, Isabel is compelled by peace negotiations to become the child-bride of the enemy, the powerful, handsome and fierce Scottish Laird of the Chattan clan, Alysandir. Her youth and his distaste for a marriage alliance with his enemy render her strenuous efforts to win the approval of her husband almost futile. Even though she failed him in a hopelessly complex situation, why would he allow his former fiancé to get away at an attempt to kill her? When her dying father calls her home to England, she is forced to be braver than her years as her exiled, murderous half-brother, Gilbert, attempts to wrest control of Bamborough Castle, their family home, from her father, who was determined to never allow Gilbert the inheritance. Could Alysandir, her wizened warrior husband soften her battle-hardened heart, protect her from her treacherous half-brother and win back her love? Growing up amid the border wars taught Isabel to be strong, cautious and adaptable. Fighting in those wars made Alysandir inflexible, distrustful but patient and brave. Could he secure his lands and keep his new bride safe from those who wished to harm her, or even protect her from herself? After breaking her, could he gather her back to himself and teach her to trust him before her half-brother and brother-in-law kill her over a piece of borderland?
