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.

Rolling Pigeons
A successful businessman, devout husband and father, and most importantly, the town of Gilmore’s legendary star pitcher, Sy Todd, is a 63-year-old pillar of this colorful rural midwestern community and is respected and liked by all. Two weeks before being inducted into the County Baseball Hall of Fame, he inexplicably begins to falter. Is it a nascent streak of lechery brought on by a troubled marriage, a fear of aging into a life unfulfilled? Or is it something deeper that the usually steadfast Sy, for once in his life, cannot control. Rolling Pigeons is named after a colorful breed of pigeon selected for its inclination to inexplicably tumble or roll in the air. As a hobby, Sy is raising a coop full of these oddball birds, which become a strong metaphor for his own incomprehensible actions.
