The Ottomans: A Dynasty. A Family

Set against the grandeur of Imperial Istanbul during the Young Turk Revolution, Palace in the Mist is the sequel to The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus. It is a compelling tale of family, duty and the burden of conscience.

Istanbul, 1906

The Ottoman Empire stands on the brink of change as a new order threatens to emerge.

Behind the high walls of Yıldız Palace, Sultan Abdülhamid II clings to power, convinced that only his firm hand can preserve the crumbling Ottoman State.

In Macedonia, Captain Hakkı, a patriotic young Ottoman officer, is torn between loyalty to the Sultan and his oath to the secret Young Turk movement.

And in their gilded cage on the Bosphorus, Prince Selahaddin and his family yearn for freedom and purpose within a collapsing world.

Each must make impossible choices as political intrigue and nationalist uprisings threaten to bring down an Empire and topple a dynasty that has ruled for over six centuries.

"Palace in the Mist is both a riveting story of political upheaval and a compelling portrait of a now-vanished world. A triumph and an essential read for anyone interested in Ottoman history." - Imran Mulla, author of The Indian Caliphate: Exiled Ottomans and the Billionaire Prince
