Summary
At twenty-two, King Baldwin IV rules a kingdom half-consumed by war, treachery, and the leprosy hollowing him from within. Yet before the storm of his final years, there was the fire of youth. The first half of this book returns to those memories: the separation of his parents, the discovery of his illness, the death of his father, his rise to kingship under Raymond of Tripoli, and his earliest encounters with blood, war, and tragedy. These trials forged the boy into a king and lit the blaze that carried him through Montgisard and his first triumphs.
The second half resumes in 1183. As Saladin rises with unmatched unity and Jerusalem’s allies falter, Baldwin must face the truth: the kingdom he bled to defend will not outlive him. He fights not for empire, but to secure the last breath of a fragile peace, and to leave behind a Jerusalem worthy of memory, not myth.
What follows is a storm—the fall of the Holy City, the slaughter of knights sworn to silence, the failure of crusades to reclaim what was lost. Yet beneath the ruin, something endures. The walls of Jerusalem remember him. His legacy lives on not in crowns or relics, but in lives built upon the ashes he left behind.

Summary
This is the second book in The Phoenix of Jerusalem series.
At nineteen, King Baldwin IV wages war on three fronts—against the invaders beyond Jerusalem's walls, the factions fracturing his court, and the leprosy consuming him from within. Surrounded by unrest and racing against time, he leans on the one person who sees him beyond the crown or the illness: Ysolde, his brilliant physician and once-lost childhood friend, who returned for duty and found love. As the kingdom begins to fall, Baldwin and Ysolde fight to hold what remains, protect each other, and carve out the right to live on their own terms before all that they are—king, healer, city, and bond—is lost to fire and memory.
‼️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.

Summary
Can a young girl from Nablus survive the snake pit of the Royal Court and become one of its most influential members? Is there a chance to defeat Salah ad-Din with the help of his inner political conflicts? Is leprosy curable?
In the following story, you can have an inspection of the 12th century Holy Land in a parallel universe. Intrigue, fighting, hatred, and love. I am not considering the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" as the base of my tale, I sprang it from true historical facts, and will form it in a way that I haven't seen in fanfictions regarding this topic so far. How it didn't happen in reality but maybe could have happened in a parallel universe.
