In the Ottoman capital in 1807, Sultan Selim III’s reforms have stirred bitter resistance, and people say a new era is about to begin. A soldier who has come back from the front with a wounded mind sits drinking raki in a sailors’ tavern by the water, his eyes on the door. A high-ranking servant of the sultan, wrapped in a rough wool cloak, steps off a small boat and slips into the dark streets of Beşiktaş. Up the Golden Horn, a noblewoman with a long cherrywood pipe reviews her plan on the balcony of her summer house. And on a pier at night, two men conspire against the sultan. A single plot ties all of them together, and events gather pace that will change their lives and the empire itself.
