Description: Moving to the culturally rich city of Granada in the aftermath of a personal trauma, Kate discovers a scrap of paper hidden in an ancient garden wall containing a fifteenth-century message that changes her life forever.

Fleeing a personal trauma, Kate Fordham goes to the city of Granada, the ancient capital of the Moors in Spain, scraping by with an unfulfilling job in a busy bar. One day she finds a scrap of paper hidden in the glorious gardens of the Alhambra. It is a message from another era, undiscovered since before the Fall of Granada in 1492, when the city was surrendered to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. The fragment will be the catalyst that changes Kate's life, as she learns the story of the last Moorish sultan of Granada, and moves toward her own destiny.
