Summary
1183. Lluna Valentia bint Al Mualim De Bosch is a noble, fruit of an interfaith union that hoped to unite two conflicting faiths of Al-Andalus. But hope is a dream and the reality is that the family's influence is in danger with the constant friction between the Almohads and the Christians wishing to retake their land.
At nineteen, Lluna is the only remaining daughter to be wed, and their only hope to salvage their social standing. At the other side of the Mediterranean, the terminally young King of Jerusalem fears for the future of his kingdom and his struggle to provide a successor that will lead in example.
In a last act of hope, or desperation, word is sent out that the King looks for a betrothed. Many countries receive the news, but few people are eager to answer. Yet in Al-Andalus, it means a seizable opportunity for a certain family. It is no doubt a convenient solution for both sides. But the convenience is flawed, complicated. Because of the King's illness, it remains to be seen whether there is a point to it all. And, after all, nobody asked what Lady Lluna thought about the whole situation.Can this unwilling bride give her life and love away to a leper? And what makes her the only one who could?

Summary
It was easy to lose himself in moments like this. Moments where he did not feel like a king nor a leper. He just felt like a boy talking to a pretty girl.

Summary
Can a young girl from Nablus survive the snake pit of the Royal Court and become one of its most influential members? Is there a chance to defeat Salah ad-Din with the help of his inner political conflicts? Is leprosy curable?
In the following story, you can have an inspection of the 12th century Holy Land in a parallel universe. Intrigue, fighting, hatred, and love. I am not considering the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" as the base of my tale, I sprang it from true historical facts, and will form it in a way that I haven't seen in fanfictions regarding this topic so far. How it didn't happen in reality but maybe could have happened in a parallel universe.

Summary
Aspasia left her home, Macedonia, upon discovering the Templars had a hand in her mother's death. Making a grandiose exit and heading to Athens, she stumbles upon some people who will advise her to head to Jerusalem. It is said that endless opportunities and flows of money await those who are ready to seize them.
Aspasia sees this as the best place to head to if she wishes to disappear from the Templars' radar: by blending into the masses of pilgrims and crusaders. After all, she fears for her safety as Templars of the Macedonian Rite are chasing her.
Upon her arrival to Jerusalem, she meets an odd man named Phillip who comes to her with an odd offer: kill a public figure discreetly and earn a hefty sum of drachmae. It sounded good enough. Except that Aspasia was not a discreet person. And she had no idea how difficult this task would prove itself to be until she realizes who is the man she is asked to eliminate.
