In the Sultan's Service
The year is 1183. Eric, an eighteen-year-old Castilian, leaves Burgos for the court of Sultan Saladin as a translator for an embassy. What begins as a diplomatic mission turns into a descent with no return into the darkest and most forbidden pleasures of al-Andalus.
In the exotic palace of Córdoba, he will discover a world where Christian slave girls are trained for absolute submission: silver collars that seal obedience, brands of fire on the skin, and bodies that surrender without resistance amid the scent of jasmine and sandalwood.
As his Christian faith crumbles, Eric awakens instincts he never thought he had. At the center of his obsession burns Jimena, his mentor’s daughter: the only woman he cannot touch… and the one he most desires to subdue.
An intimate, raw, and uncensored diary. Where a single gesture or word can lead you to paradise… or to total ruin.
