Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
A colorful, magical tale set during the height of the Ottoman Empire, from the acclaimed author of The Island of Missing Trees (a Reese's Book Club Pick) Chosen for Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall’s “Reading Room” Book Club In this novel, Turkey’s preeminent female writer spins an epic tale spanning nearly a century in the life of the Ottoman Empire. In 1540, twelve-year-old Jahan arrives in Istanbul. As an animal tamer in the sultan’s menagerie, he looks after the exceptionally smart elephant Chota and befriends (and falls for) the sultan’s beautiful daughter, Princess Mihrimah. A palace education leads Jahan to Mimar Sinan, the empire’s chief architect, who takes Jahan under his wing as they construct (with Chota’s help) some of the most magnificent buildings in history. Yet even as they build Sinan’s triumphant masterpieces—the incredible Suleymaniye and Selimiye mosques—dangerous undercurrents begin to emerge, with jealousy erupting among Sinan’s four apprentices. A memorable story of artistic freedom, creativity, and the clash between science and fundamentalism, Shafak’s intricate novel brims with vibrant characters, intriguing adventure, and the lavish backdrop of the Ottoman court, where love and loyalty are no match for raw power.

The owner of a Nebulan Cluster shipping company finds that his family's future will be inescapably intertwined with an ancient artifact.

His grandson, Tobius Stryker, is the one who will have to weather the storm this item has wrought over the past millennium, but little did he realize what it truly is. The relic carries Tobius down a path of mourning, anger, and self-discovery as he tries to unravel the mysteries that his family has found.

This group keeps a natural view of the flow, believing that it has three purposes--the pursuit of wealth, knowledge, or justice--and they use their power to help strengthen the flow by the pursuit of one of these focuses. These pursuits are determined through tests, and Tobius finds himself to be the first seeker of justice in a thousand years. Finding himself to be the predecessor to the nightmare the Keepers dare not speak about, he discovers the plot of an entity set on galactic destruction. Having to rely on his own instincts as well as the friends, he finds on the way. Tobius must not only find peace with his life but also save the galaxy from the ghost of the Keepers' secret past.
