The Conquest of Liberty: Book One, Moors Monarchs & Monks

In an era where the line between faith and power is as thin as a sword’s edge, one man’s journey will define not only his fate but the destiny of a continent.

From the bustling streets of Granada to the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean, Miguel’s quest to reach Rome and secure a papal pardon for the archbishop will take him to the farthest corners of the known world. Kidnapped by ruthless pirates, forced to fight in the scorching deserts of North Africa, and entangled in the schemes of kings, queens, cardinals, and corsairs, Miguel’s resolve is tested at every turn.

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish conquest of the New World and the rise of the Renaissance, The Conquest of Liberty is a sweeping tale of adventure, faith and eternal struggle for liberty.

The novel also delves into ambitious exploits of the Spanish conquistadors. Among them is Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the bold explorer who carved his way through the Isthmus of Panama and became the first European to lay eyes on the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Yet, even as Balboa’s name is etched into history, he is betrayed by those who envy his success. Through treachery and false accusations, this once-great man is condemned and executed, a grim reminder of the relentless struggle for power that defined the era.

A sweeping tale of courage, betrayal, and the unyielding quest for liberty, The Conquest of Liberty paints a vivid portrait of a world in turmoil, where heroes are forged in the fires of adversity and liberty is a prize fought for with blood and steel.
