Come Faith, Come Fire — Vanessa Royall

As the Flames of the Inquisition Scourged the Land, They Dared to Seize a Forbidden Love, to Pursue a Forbidden Dream.

A FIERY PASSION THAT RISKED DAMNATION

Proud as her aristocratic upbringing, bold as the ancient gypsy blood that ran in her veins, the beautiful, golden-haired Maria saw her family burned at the Inquisitor's stake, watched her young lover, the adventurous Rafael de Alagon, forced into the priesthood.

A FLAMING DESIRE THAT DEFIED EVERY DANGER

Desperate, bound by a forbidden love, she defied the Grand Inquisitor himself, fled across Spain with the gypsy king, was enslaved by the Blue Sultan, and escaped to entreat Queen Isabella's favor at the dazzling Spanish court.

A BURNING LOVE DESTINED TO BE FREE
