Book one of The Ottoman Threads of Fate
What happens when the ultimate forces of history, divinity, and absolute empire collide?
Trapped in a timeless pocket dimension by a cosmic power far greater than the Greek pantheon, the court of the Ottoman Empire and the modern demigods of Camp Half-Blood are forced to sit together and read the life of Persephone "Percy" Jackson.
For Sultan Süleyman, a month after celebrating the birth of his only child with Hürrem Sultan, a fierce and sudden golden pull reveals that his true soulmate is not a woman of his court, but a defiant, sea-green-eyed demigod from the future.
As the readings begin, the clash of cultures and faiths shakes the room. While the arrogant Olympians find their authority humbled by the unwavering Islamic piety of the Ottomans, the mortal court reacts with fierce protective rage to Percy's struggles. The powerful Valide Sultan finds herself deeply respecting the young warrior's resilience, while the Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha forms an unyielding, protective brotherly bond with a girl who, like him, was dragged from nothing to fight the wars of elites.
From battling Furies to surviving mortal cruelty, the Court of Istanbul vows that the daughter of the Sea God will never stand alone again. But to claim the storm, the Sovereign must first learn to navigate a girl who refuses to bow to any king.
