User:Dpedrazine/The Solomon Chronicles

The Solomon Chronicles: Sangre del Unico is a historical fiction novel by American novelist D. R. Pedraza which incorporates themes from multiple genres to includes history, fantasy, religious fantasy and medievalism. It describes the "last blood descendant of King Solomon" and his eternal quest to foil Satan and his quest to destroy humanity. It is the Desert Storm veteran's first novel.

The novel was chiefly inspired by the author’s research into his family history. This research led him to the Canary Islands and the Spanish Realm which controlled them in the 13th and 14th centuries. The author traces his paternal lineage to such characters of European History as Jean de Bethencourt, Carlos de las Casas, and whose extended family includes the most noble of names in Europe such as Juan Mathe de Luna and the Kings of Castile, Aragon, France, England and Spain. Because of the linage, research items were readily found in records of those kingdoms.
