Tom Swan is captured in Constantinople and faces enslavement in a city transformed by Ottoman conquest. His immediate fate appears to rest with a woman whose position and motives are as difficult to read as the competing interests surrounding the court of Mehmed II.
Escape requires Swan to trade information, scholarship and nerve while searching for an opportunity to profit from the danger. Encounters with collectors, merchants and agents show him that manuscripts and relics can carry political value equal to gold, and that freedom in the new Ottoman capital may depend on accepting service to another master.
