She was given to one man - and taken by another...
Beautiful Jimena was little more than a girl when she was given in marriage to the man she loathed - Rodrigo Diaz, know as El Cid, Christian Spain's greatest warrior hero, and the man who had slain her father.
Jimena had barely learned to play the role of wife when she was abducted by her husband's hated enemy. Hasan was the brilliant, daring, superbly handsome Arab chieftain who had made her prisoner of his power - and of her own wakening passion.

A wonderful story which explores Medieval Spain and the conflict between the Muslims & Christians. Very balanced & informative while keeping your interest with excellent narrative. The characters are well developed & capture your heart. I've read this book at least 4 times. If you enjoy this, I recommend you read "The Lions of Al Rassan" by Guy Gavriel Kay
