AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Seville, 1489

'The end of the Reconquista.

'Diego Sanchis is Seville’s most famous painter; his glorious art fills every church in the famous city. But for all the beauty in his soul, Diego himself is no oil painting. Nobody but his father loves him and Diego likes it that way.

'Until one day he is asked to take on a new student.

'Mercedes Goncalvez is the most beautiful young woman in the city, and her father is rich and powerful. What could such a woman possibly see in Diego?

'But there are many ways to see beauty. And beyond the dungeons of the Inquisition; beyond betrayal and torture; and even as the Christian cannons are turned towards the heavenly gardens of the Alhambra, Diego and Mercedes find true beauty among the ashes of last hopes.

'A medieval romance set in Seville and the last days of the Alhambra.

'A story of love, art and genius.'
