Spain, AD 687: In the southern province of Granada, three children form an unlikely friendship. A despicable act by the king's bastard son changes their destinies forever. As adults, their decisions will determine the fate of a crumbling kingdom.Yosef is preparing to leave Granada on a trading mission to the East. His friend, wild, silent Lælia, is unsure of her betrothal to the aristocratic Theo.Then Oppa, scheming son of the new Visigoth king, comes south, hungry for riches and for blood.Within days, Lælia is wounded, Theo enslaved, and Yosef has fled a false accusation of murder. The only honour left lies in their loyalty to each other. But as the fate of their country hangs in the balance, Yosef's perilous journey through the Arab lands of North Africa becomes desperately important - and loyalty becomes a choice."Paula Constant's sensuous prose brings vividly to life the sights and scents, the dangers and delights, of a world on the cusp of transformation." If you like dramatized accounts of real people and conflicts, tightly plotted action, and beautifully drawn details, then you'll love the first book in the highly anticipated Visigoths of Spain series.What readers are saying:"Like voyaging into a secret land where old legends came to life and mystery lay around every corner.""I didn't want to emerge from this. I've been lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the second in the series. It only gets better.""Caves, horses, battles, love, kings, bastard sons...everything I could want in historical fiction and more."
