An Orbit title

Fifteen-year-old Boaz is the new Zar, freshly ascended to his throne. In the turmoil following the old Zar’s death, courtiers jostle and conspire to secure their positions - not least his scheming mother, the new Valide. It seems his only genuine friends are his late father’s mad jester; Spur Lazar, head of Percheron's security; and a golden beauty - a new odalisque purchased in the foothills as a slave for the harem.

But can a madman, a soldier and a concubine be trusted to keep him safe from the Byzantine manoeuvres of his father’s ambitious entourage?

Pleasure and politics collide in Fiona McIntosh’s exotic new fantasy trilogy, set in the harem of the great Stone Palace of Percheron.

Reviews

  • 'McIntosh’s narrative has measured pace, subtle modulations and inexorable rhythm . . . Odalisque is a beautifully structured novel, full of cruelty, wonder, mystery and terror' INTERZONE
  • 'Two words on the cover (‘Fiona McIntosh’) always let me know that I’m in for a good read' Robin Hobb
