In sixteenth-century Istanbul, the Sultan commissions a cadre of the most acclaimed artists in the land to create a great book celebrating the glories of his realm, illuminated in the European style. However, as figurative art can be deemed an affront to Islam, this commission is a dangerous proposition. When one of the miniaturists disappears, the only clue to the mystery lies in the half-finished illuminations. This novel is a kaleidoscopic journey to the intersection of art, religion, love, sex and power.
