Knight That Time Forgot

When modern researchers follow Kasa-Manden records to a forgotten chapel hill, they uncover the hidden tomb of Rodrigo Martín de Villalba and Zahara Amara de Villalba, proving a legend official history tried to erase. Centuries earlier, Rodrigo, a fierce border lord and knight, chooses God, his wife, his children, his land, and his people before crown. Zahara, a powerful African princess, enters Villalba as his lawful wife, but one public insult sets blood, church, crown, and record against them. As enemies twist language, corrupt archives, threaten their possible child, and close the roads under false royal authority, Villalba must decide whether truth is worth hunger. With Queen Nalia's records, King Amara's restrained power, Mendo's stubborn ink, and a people's wall standing between lie and law, Rodrigo and Zahara fight not only for survival but for the right to be named. The king can wound history, but stones, witnesses, and love remember what ink tried to forget.
