The Ruby Cross

"A fast-paced romance about the Islamic invasion of Spain and the legendary Battle of Covadonga! A skilfully choreographed tale packed with epic events, bloody battles, diabolical and erotic intrigues, featuring a cast of larger-than-life characters, detailed historical reconstructions and fabulous costumes. The author explores faith, myth and ethnic identity among Christians, Muslims, Jews and Pagans through vivid dialogues, penetrating reflections and gripping narrative. Religious belief is of paramount importance in this thought-provoking struggle for survival and supremacy among the people who lived at the dawn of Christian Europe."
