Ring of Lions
When one stone lions in the Alhambra’s famed fountain begins gushing water each evening—after five hundred years of silence—an ancient rupture opens. Ring of Lions entwines the last Moorish kings of Spain with a string of modern deaths at the castle of Granada’s final Emir. Moving across timelines, folktales, and generations, the story follows seekers drawn by cultural, religious, and academic motives. Shadowing it all is an animal fable adapted from the “Story of the Ring Dove,” linked to the Ikhwān al-Ṣafā’ tradition.
Dalglish writes her characters vividly as she weaves the history of the Alhambra and the Moors’ influence into her plot so carefully a reader doesn’t realize how much knowledge she absorbs.
