"In the twilight of Islamic Spain, a Christian noblewoman named Isabellah Falcares defies her family, her faith, and her world to escape with a Muslim merchant from Morocco. Together, Idris and Isabellah embark on a voyage that will take them across the Mediterranean, through the Indian Ocean, and into the heart of the Far East-from the bustling ports of Aden and Malacca to the majestic walls of Constantinople and the splendour of Imperial China.
But their journey is more than a tale of adventure. It is a testament to the power of love to transcend religion, culture, and the deepest divides of history. As they face pirates, plagues, storms, and the relentless march of empires, they discover that the only true borders are those we build in our hearts.
Spanning decades and generations, Waves of Andalusia is a sweeping historical saga of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of a love that dared to sail beyond the known world. Inspired by the golden age of cross-cultural exchange, this novel reminds us that the sea has no religion-only storms, and love, always love."
