A sweeping historical adventure, set in 17th-century Morocco, from
the bestselling author of Court of Lions. Morocco, 1677 The
tyrannical King Ismail resides over the palace of Meknes. Through
the sweltering heat of the palace streets, Nus Nus, slave to the
king, is sent to the apothecary. There he discovers the bloody
corpse of the herb man, and becomes entangled in a plot to frame
him for the murder. Meanwhile, young, fair Alys Swann is captured
during her crossing to England, where she is due to be wed. Sold
into Ismail's harem, she is forced to choose: renounce her faith or
die. An unlikely alliance develops between Alys and Nus Nus, one
that will help them to survive the horrifying ordeals of King
Ismail's court. Brimming with rich historical detail and peppered
with real characters, from Charles I to Samuel Pepys, The Sultan's
Wife is a story of enduring love and adventure. 'Jane Johnson

addicted' Katie Fforde 'An utterly compelling story' Stuart
