Summary
Kevin had never really known who he was or where he came from. Kidnapped from his home in the Taurus mountains, he had been inculcated with the doctrine of islam, handed a sword and told to fight for an empire that was not his own, and defend a city already corrupted at its core by ravenous nobles fighting for power and a shi’a wazir looking to overthrow and destroy a 500 hundred year sunni legacy.
Su is his lover, and a scholar at the House of Wisdom, on which his very own life and perception of self depends. He does not care for his own life but he does care for Su's. This is how they handle themselves during the fall of Baghdad in 1258. Accompanying them in their struggles and travails are Eden, a lesbian singer trying to prove her worth in society. Elysia fighting a losing battle trying to get the scholars to approve of her choice of artistic expression. And Kalpas loses his fortune when he is dismissed from service, rendering him powerless to marry Sakura, the woman he could not live without.
