PARIS, 2017.
300 YEARS AFTER ALL OF EUROPE FELL
TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE . . .
Kamal Agha is a special investigator for the state police, upholding the feared sultan's strict regime. When a mysteriously tattooed, naked man appears by the Seine and murders a passerby, Kamal is tasked with finding him.
But the man holds an astonishing secret-a secret which could put the empire's entire future, and history, in doubt.
A secret the sultan's men will do anything to suppress.
Forced on the run, Kamal knows he will be killed for what he knows-unless he dares use it to save himself. But doing so could wipe out his whole world, and everyone he ever loved along with it . . .
