Spain, AD 687: Three children come of age amid the turbulent decline of Visigothic Spain. Yosef is preparing to leave Granada with his father on a trading mission to the East. His friend, wild, silent Laelia, is unsure of her betrothal to the aristocratic Theo. Then Oppa, scheming son of the new Visigoth king, comes south, hungry for riches and for blood. Within days, Laelia is wounded, Theo is enslaved, Yosef’s father has been killed and Yosef himself has fled a false accusation of murder. Now his perilous journey through the Arab lands of North Africa becomes desperately important - and loyalty becomes a choice. Set against a sprawling medieval landscape, The Votive Crown is the first full length book in the Visigoths of Spain saga, following the fortunes of three Spanish families caught in the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the Arabic conquest of Spain. It is preceded by a prequel novella, The Saharan Queen. Theudemir of Aurariola (Theo) is a Spanish nobleman betrothed sent to fight abroad in the Imperial fleet. When the fleet is attacked at sea, Theo finds himself alone and enslaved on foreign shores. As he battles to survive and rejoin the fleet, Theo is sustained by his bond with Lælia, the fierce, pagan Spanish heiress to whom he is betrothed. Raised among the tribes of the old Roman South, Lælia is not accustomed to the trappings of the Toletum court, nor the corruption she finds there. After Theo is lost at sea, Lælia must find a way to escape a forced marriage to Oppa, the sadistic royal bastard. As Spain slides toward civil war, Lælia uncovers an old secret that may be the key to Oppa's undoing. Yosef is the son of a Jewish merchant who is about to embark upon a perilous trading journey to the far East when a brutal act by Oppa sees his father murdered, and Yosef himself exiled. Deep in Saharan sands he joins the forces of warrior queen Dahiya as they battle the oncoming Arab army, and searches for Theo, whose help he is reliant on for the safe outcome of his journey. As Spain descends further into chaos, Emperor and Caliph war for control over the medieval Circle of Lands. In a world on the brink of collapse, love, loyalty and honour unite Spain's children across distance and time.
