EAST MOLINE, IL, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Author Anbar has announced the official release of The Barbary Prince, a historical romance novel now available in
audiobook format fully narrated by artificial intelligence. Available for download through Google Play Books, this audiobook represents a fusion of literary tradition and emerging technology, transporting the listener to an exotic world of sand, duty, and desire.Narrated in Spanish, The Barbary Prince offers a fresh alternative to the contemporary reader looking to explore history and romance in an accessible and modern format. Narrated through AI-generated voice technology, the audiobook offers an immersive and modern experience, without losing the emotional intimacy that characterizes the written work.
"Although the voice is generated by AI, each whisper of the desert carries my heart as the author," says Anbar Bermejo.
The Barbary Prince tells the story of a noble young man caught between the honor of his Moorish lineage and an impossible love. As a web of betrayal and desire unravels in the depths of the desert, the protagonist faces not only external threats but also the inner demons that threaten to unravel his destiny.
Told from the perspective of Amir, a young Irishman kidnapped by Barbary pirates in his teens, the novel chronicles his unexpected journey into the world of North African palaces and deserts. Made a royal guard for a powerful sultana, Amir confronts a destiny forged by others and a heart that is not entirely his own. Set in a universe where the wind and sand seem to hold ancient secrets, the novel reflects the tension between cultural belonging and individual freedom. The narrative, originally written in Spanish, is rich in sensory imagery and guided by a lyrical rhythm that honors the author's literary roots.
Through his eyes, the listener explores the complexities of honor, desire, and belonging, all within a world where language, religion, and political power form a tapestry as beautiful as it is dangerous.
"This audiobook invites listeners to cross the sands of history and accompany characters who must decide what freedom, love, and honor truly mean. It's a story that deserves to be experienced aloud," commented the author.
One of the most distinctive features of this production is its entirely AI-generated narration. With the help of state-of-the-art voice technology, each chapter was carefully structured to maintain the intonation, rhythm, and emotion demanded by a novel of this caliber.
Far from being a cold or mechanical experiment, the end result is a refined soundtrack that manages to respect the poetic cadence of the original prose, paying special attention to the nuances of the Spanish language. This type of innovation allows independent writers like Anbar
to access new distribution possibilities without compromising the artistic quality of the work. The Barbary Prince is not just a romance novel: it is a profound exploration of the ties between Europe and North Africa during a period underrepresented in popular fiction. Inspired by historical sources and true accounts of captivity, the novel weaves fiction with reality to give voice to a silenced past. Rather than focusing solely on opulence or exoticism, the story offers an intimate glimpse into moral dilemmas, fractured loyalties, and the constant tension between identity and survival. The novel foregrounds a vulnerable male gaze, guided not by force but by observation, duty, and silent longing.
The audiobook is now available to listen to or download directly from Google Play Books. With intuitive navigation, compatibility across all Android devices, and the ability to listen offline, this platform offers a convenient experience for modern listeners.
