A fantastical journey set at the height of the Spanish Inquisition
from the award-winning author of Alif the Unseen and writer of the
Ms. Marvel series, G. Willow Wilson's The Bird King is a jubilant
story of love versus power, religion versus faith, and freedom
versus safety. G. Willow Wilson's debut novel Alif the Unseen was
an NPR and Washington Post Best Book of the Year, and it
established her as a vital American Muslim literary voice. Now she
delivers The Bird King, a stunning new novel that tells the story
of Fatima, a concubine in the royal court of Granada, the last
emirate of Muslim Spain, and her dearest friend Hassan, the palace
mapmaker. Hassan has a secret--he can draw maps of places he's
never seen and bend the shape of reality. When representatives of
the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan's
surrender, Fatima befriends one of the women, not realizing that
she will see Hassan's gift as sorcery and a threat to Christian
Spanish rule. With their freedoms at stake, what will Fatima risk
to save Hassan and escape the palace walls? As Fatima and Hassan
traverse Spain with the help of a clever jinn to find safety, The
Bird King asks us to consider what love is and the price of freedom
at a time when the West and the Muslim world were not yet separate.

something more powerful than belief...fear. Only the brave heroes
Wonder Woman and Shazam stand in their way, but will their combined
powers be enough?

"G. Willow Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic, and the
kind of smart, honest writing mind that knits together and bridges
cultures and people. You should read what she writes."--Neil
Gaiman, author of Stardust and American Gods "Driven by a hot ionic
charge between higher math and Arabian myth, G. Willow Wilson
conjures up a tale of literary enchantment, political change, and
religious mystery. Open the first page and you will be forced to do
its bidding: To read on."--Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and
Out of Oz In an unnamed Middle Eastern security state, a young
Arab-Indian hacker shields his clients--dissidents, outlaws,
Islamists, and other watched groups--from surveillance and tries to
stay out of trouble. He goes by Alif--the first letter of the
Arabic alphabet, and a convenient handle to hide behind. The
aristocratic woman Alif loves has jilted him for a prince chosen by
her parents, and his computer has just been breached by the state's
electronic security force, putting his clients and his own neck on
the line. Then it turns out his lover's new fiance is the "Hand of
God," as they call the head of state security, and his henchmen
come after Alif, driving him underground. When Alif discovers The
Thousand and One Days, the secret book of the jinn, which both he
and the Hand suspect may unleash a new level of information
technology, the stakes are raised and Alif must struggle for life
or death, aided by forces seen and unseen. With shades of Neal
Stephenson, Philip Pullman, and The Thousand and One Nights, Alif
the Unseen is a tour de force debut--a sophisticated melting pot of
ideas, philosophy, technology, and spirituality smuggled inside an
irresistible page-turner. "[A] Harry Potter-ish action-adventure
romance [that] unfolds against the backdrop of the Arab Spring. . .
. Improbably charming . . . A bookload of wizardry and
glee."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times
From award-winning author G. Willow Wilson, The Bird King is an
epic journey set during the reign of the last sultan in the Iberian
peninsula at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. G. Willow
Wilson's debut novel Alif the Unseen established her as a vital
American Muslim literary voice. The Bird King tells the story of
Fatima, a concubine in the royal court of Granada, the last emirate
of Muslim Spain, and her dearest friend Hassan, the palace
mapmaker. Hassan has a secret - he can draw maps of places he's
never seen and bend the shape of reality. When representatives of
the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan's
surrender, Fatima befriends one of the women, not realising that
she will see Hassan's gift as sorcery and a threat to Christian
Spanish rule. With their freedoms at stake, what will Fatima risk
to save Hassan and escape the palace walls? As Fatima and Hassan
traverse Spain to find safety, The Bird King asks us to consider
what love is and the price of freedom at a time when the West and
the Muslim world were not yet separate.
'I will tell you a story, but it comes with a warning; when you
hear it, you will become someone else.' He calls himself Alif, a
young man born in a Middle Eastern city that straddles the ancient
and modern. When Alif comes into possession of a mysterious book
entitled The Thousand and One Days, he discovers a door to another
world - a world from a very different time, when old magic was in
the ascendant and the djinn walked amongst us. Thus begins an
adventure that takes him through the crumbling streets of a
once-beautiful city, to uncover the long-forgotten mysteries of the
Unseen. Alif is about to become a fugitive. And he is about to
unleash a destructive power that will change everything and
everyone - starting with Alif himself...
