Sultana: The Bride Price (A Novel of Moorish Spain)

Book #4 of the Sultana series.

In fourteenth-century Moorish Spain, a marriage of convenience for the sake of peace leads to disaster in the medieval kingdom of Granada. The young queen Jazirah, caught up in a dynastic struggle between warring brothers, fights for her survival. Wed to a husband who looks at her with more suspicion than lust in his eyes, she must escape reminders of a brutal past in a quest to find forgiveness, hope, and love.

Her husband Muhammad faces greater peril than union with a wife he cannot trust. Surrounded by enemies within his family who seek the throne and undermined by ministers who would alter the course of his countryâ€™s future, he intends to rule the land of his ancestors alone. How can he endure against his most bitter opponents, not least among them, the woman whom he has chosen for a bride?

Snippet:

â€œWhy do you speak of me as if I am not here?â€ Jazirah demanded. Despite the collective gasps from everyone in attendance, she continued, â€œWe may address each other as equals for we are both the grandchildren of a Sultan of Gharnatah.â€

Her father admonished, â€œJazirah, you are not the equal of a man, least of all the Sultan! You will apologize and beg his forgiveness. Now!â€

Muhammad raised a hand. While Ismail fell silent and glared at Jazirah, she returned his narrowed stare with intense regard.

The Sultan said, â€œLet her keep false words behind her teeth. I would not believe them. What else could I expect, but this behavior from the daughter of a traitor to his people and my father?â€
