Legends of the Forgotten: The Tale of Borikén - Tome I

The Tale of Borikén – Tome I
By J.L. Cedano

Set in the 1500s at the dawn of colonization, The Tale of Borikén follows Leonardo—a young Spaniard raised for war and rank—sent to the island of Borikén with dreams of glory. But what he finds is a land alive with power, bound by honor, and steeped in traditions that defy everything he has known.

Torn between loyalty to the Spanish crown and the spiritual legacy of a people he was taught to conquer, Leonardo is thrust into a conflict where steel meets stone, and belief is as deadly as any blade. As ancient deities stir and alliances shift, he must confront the truth of who he is—not by destiny, but by the choices he makes.

Blending historical fiction with Caribbean myth and Taíno spirituality, this first volume launches an epic saga of identity, resistance, and rebirth.
