Magers & Quinn Booksellers: Cass Dalglish presents “Ring of Lions”

Something very strange is happening to the ring of stone lions at the center of the Alhambra, lions that have refused to spit water for five hundred years, until suddenly one of the lions is gushing every evening. Ring of Lions explores the power of memories, rooted in history and belief, as mysteries around the last Moorish kings of Spain become entangled with a series of recent deaths at the Alhambra, castle of the last Emir of Granada. The novel takes readers across timelines and through folktales as it is told by characters of several generations whose cultural, religious and scholarly motives have drawn them to southern Spain and the Courtyard of the Lions.
