Once the greatest city on earth, Tumanbay has fallen into the hands of two opposing warlords.
Series 4 of this engrossing, historical fantasy from creators John Scott Dryden and Mike Walker.
Once the greatest city on earth, Tumanbay has fallen into the hands of two opposing warlords: the Grand Master Amalric (Anton Lesser), leader of a fearsome religious order of knights; and Fatima (Kirsty Bushell), ambitious wife of a provincial governor who exerts total control over the weakened young Sultana Manel (Aiysha Hart).
Manel鈥檚 uncle, the spymaster Gregor (Rufus Wright) has been banished to the furthest deserts, after having claimed to have seen the Sultana鈥檚 murdered lover, Alkin. Gregor is convinced Alkin鈥檚 return from the dead heralds the end for Tumanbay and he must do everything in his power to get back to save it.
