A Moorish Talisman
Who were the Moors, really? A 768-page journey through the record, the debates and the legends, so you can tell what is documented from what has only been repeated.
The record, the debate and the legend, kept apart.
This book follows the name "Moor" and the people behind it across centuries and continents. Instead of asking you to take its word, it shows its work.
Every chapter is written in three clearly marked voices, so you always know what kind of claim you are reading:
What the surviving sources actually say, footnoted to real, checkable sources.
Where serious people disagree, with the evidence on each side laid out fairly.
Symbolic readings offered as keys, not proofs, and always labeled as such.
The print edition goes live on Amazon on release day.
