He servido a un rey grande entre los grandes. He ayudado a construir un reino.??? Cuentan las cr???nicas que a finales del siglo VIII, en tiempos de guerra entre musulmanes y cristianos, el pr???ncipe Mauregato escog???a de entre las doncellas del reino a las m???s bellas para entreg???rselas al emir de C???rdoba, Abderram???n I, en el Tributo de las Cien Doncellas. As??? comienza la historia de Alana, hija de un jefe de clan astur y un guerrero visigodo, obligada a abandonar su castro para formar parte del har???n del emir.

Estas son las memorias de una mujer valiente, osada y audaz dispuesta a sacrificarlo todo en busca de la libertad ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "I have been held captive in the land of the Moors and hunted in my own home. I have survived countless perils. I have known joy and have also experienced heartbreak like a cruel stab in the heart. I have served the greatest king. I have helped build a kingdom." Archives tell that at the end of the 8th century, in times of the war between Muslims and Christians, King Mauregatus would chose the most beautiful of maidens from the kingdom and deliver them to the Emir of C???rdoba, Abd al-Rahman I, in the Tribute of the Hundred Maidens . Thus begins the story of Alana, the daughter of an Asturian clan chief and Visigoth warrior, forced to leave her fort behind to become part of the emir's harem.
