Goodreads asked Sienna Kaye:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Sienna Kaye There’s always been a quiet mystery in my life—an old story about a forbidden love between a West African prince and a Portuguese noblewoman, whispered over generations, but never fully confirmed, is how I like to think of it. That ancestral echo became the spark for the historical romance I’m currently writing: a sweeping tale set in the 15th century, where duty, empire, and desire collide on the shores of destiny.

It’s more than just fiction—it’s me reaching back through time to imagine the passion, power, and heartbreak of two people caught between worlds. That mystery-the truth behind the legend—is still unfolding, and I’m writing my way toward it.
