Leila, or the Siege of Grenada
14.99 €
The beautiful Leila is the daughter of a special man, reputed to be a great sorcerer. It's no surprise that Leila's father is favored by the ruler of the Moors, who wants to preserve his throne and win the war against the Spanish. With the throne teetering under the blows of Spanish swords, the advice of a sorcerer who can peer into the future is more needed than ever. However, Leila's father pursues a secret and far more ambitious goal than a courtly career. To this end, he unhesitatingly separates his daughter from her lover, a Moorish prince and relative of the ruler. Leila is sent to the Spanish as a hostage, where she becomes the object of the persistent courtship of another prince, the heir to the Spanish throne. If Leila could choose between the two princes, she would choose the Moor, but fate presents her with a different choice—a much more difficult and cruel one.

The historical period during which these events unfolded became known as the Reconquista—the Spanish reconquest of lands dominated by the Moors for centuries. Is it possible for Leila, caught in the eye of this historical storm, to even survive?
