1. The Votive Crown: Coin and Corruption are King
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.
2. The King’s Coin: Ambition Is The Only Faith
AD 690: Spain is poised on the brink of civil war. The struggle between Emperor and Caliph simmers in the east. Caught amid it all, Spain’s children fight for justice, freedom – and each other. Theudemir of Aurariola counts it a curse when his commander asks him to spy on the Greek fleet he serves. His honour weighs him down in the midst of an Imperial war, where men serve only themselves and treachery takes what battle does not. His friend Yosef has disappeared, the woman he loves is fighting on Saharan sands, and an old enemy threatens the uneasy alliance he leads. Theo needs to go home – but with his brothers caught on opposite sides of Spain’s bitter civil war, home is no longer simple.
