Description

It is 1836, and the world is entering the modern age. The sultan of the Ottoman Empire sees no choice but to follow suit, but right before he can announce sweeping changes, a wave of killings threatens the balance of power in his court. He calls on the only man he can trust to find the culprits. The author of the Ottoman history Lords of the Horizon here introduces a fictional hero of the late days of the empire. Yashim is both brilliant and near-invisible in his world, an investigator at ease in the great halls of the empire, in its streets, and even within its harems a thing possible only because Yashim is a eunuch. And what he finds implicates the outcast Janissaries, the former elite guard of the empire.
