"Irene had eyes that changed colour like the desert sand and hair as black as a moonless night. She was no more than sixteen years old when Allah chose to put her in my path. To a man hardened by war, jaded by decades of resentment and anger, meeting her was equal to finding cool water under the scorching desert sun. I do not lie when I say that under the sight of the Almighty, of all the souls this servant of Allah had the pleasure or misfortune to meet in his many years of struggle, Lady Irene de Manrique was without doubt the most intense, the most extraordinary, and the most surprising.

She still had the body of a young girl when she came to me. She was small in stature. A woman, barely, yet in her deep eyes lay the power, some carry in their hearts, to change the lives of those they meet forever. Her voice was sweet, like the fruit of the palm tree, but tempered. It had a note of restrained gravity, unusual in someone of her age. Her youth only enhanced her strong character. Her apparent fragility only made her more feminine. She had a capacity for passion rivalled only by the conviction of her soul. An irresistible balance between her apparent youth and an unfathomable strength, unbelievable for her years. As soon as I saw her, I knew I was in the presence of a woman who would prove to be unforgettable. A woman who could wound you, leave an indelible mark upon your soul. The type of woman for whom a man might kill or die without hesitation.

Both happened.

This is her story.

It is important to note that 'Irene' is not a historical series, nor does it claim to be. It is a work of romantic fiction that recreates a fantastical, fictitious version of medieval Europe, complete with deliberate alterations and anachronisms.
