The Wind Gate

The Wind Gate by Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzsky is a thrilling historical novel about the fate of a Muslim fortress in the 14^th century — a tale filled with romance, power struggles and perilous religious wars.

The ruler of the Moorish fortress city of Al-Qalat Banu Said, devout Muslim Ibrahim Banu Said, attempts to protect his people from the onslaught of overwhelming Christian forces threatening to destroy their mountain fortress home and evict them from Spain itself, through a lengthy siege, bombardments of their iconic towers and more devious strategies that erode their solidarity from within.
