Fiction
Ushered into the world by a mysterious pair of Tartar
midwives late in the summer of 1877 in the town of Constanta
on the Black Sea, Eleonora Cohen proves herself an
extraordinarily gifted child—a prodigy—at a very young age.
When she is eight years old, she stows away aboard a ship,
following her carpet merchant father, Yakob, to the teeming
and colorful imperial capital of Stamboul where a new life
awaits her. In the narrow streets of this city at the crossroads of the
world, intrigue and gossip are currency, and people are not
always what they seem. But it is only when she charms the
eccentric Sultan Abdulhamid II—beleaguered by friend and foe
as his unwieldy realm crumbles—that Eleonora will change the
course of an empire.
