Description
The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson is an epic journey set during the reign of the last sultan in the Iberian peninsula at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. In this stunning new novel, Fatima, a concubine in the royal court, befriends Hassan, the palace mapmaker, whose secret gift allows him to draw maps of places he's never seen and bend reality. When representatives of the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive, Fatima must navigate the complexities of her friendship with Hassan as they face the threat of Christian rule and the danger of being discovered. As they traverse Spain in search of safety, The Bird King explores themes of love, freedom, and the boundaries between cultures at a time when the West and Muslim world were not yet separate.
