    Summary

    In the golden light of a crumbling kingdom, King Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, entrusts his life to a physician unlike any other—a brilliant woman from the East who bears a face he thought lost to time.
    Ten years ago, a tragedy stole her from Jerusalem—and from him. Baldwin grieved her as one mourns a ghost of childhood. Now, she returns in secret, cloaked in a healer's robes, bearing the weight of a past neither can escape.
    As political threats mount and his body falters, Baldwin must confront an impossible truth: the cure for his dying soul may be the very woman fate once stole—and now gives back.

    ‼️Disclaimer: This novel is a work of historical fiction inspired by the life of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. While the character may be familiar from the film Kingdom of Heaven, this story draws instead from historical chronicles, medieval sources, and scholarly interpretation—seeking to explore Baldwin's legacy as it might have truly been lived.
