A book offering a groundbreaking reconstruction of the life and world of one of the most important leaders in world history, Suleiman the Magnificent. "Golden Throne" explores the period of 1538, where the greatest Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, at the height of global power, faces the forces of his empire and the relentless law of his dynasty: whoever among his five sons survives must kill the others.
The next fifteen years will be full of challenges, as Suleiman and the terrifying pirate Barbarossa confront imperial enemies on two continents, while the self-destructive curse of the Ottomans gains unstoppable momentum.
From the fires of Paris to the rainy mountains of Transylvania, and from Buda to Basra, this book offers an intensely captivating as well as historically accurate reconstruction of the life and world of the most feared and powerful man of the 16th century, revealing the cost of succession and the terrifying price of success.
With reviews describing it as "mesmerizing" and "impossible to put down," "Golden Throne" is a work sure to keep the readership in suspense.
