"They burned the books, silenced the prayers, and erased the names. But memory is rebellion-and rebellion never dies."
Ashes of Al-Andalus: The Erased Muslims of Spain is an emotionally gripping novel set in 15th-century Granada at the very edge of Muslim Spain's collapse. As Christian armies close in, scholar Ibrahim Rahman secretly copies forbidden manuscripts, while his son Tariq dreams of resisting with fire and steel.
With the Alhambra surrender looming, their family must choose: exile, silence-or a fight to preserve eight centuries of Muslim knowledge and culture.
Based on real history, this novel unveils the rarely told story of Al-Andalus-a time of golden coexistence between Muslims, Jews, and Christians, now buried beneath conquest and colonization.
