He had everything a man might dream of ... wealth, power and a harem of hundreds of the most beautiful women in his Empire.
Why then did the King of Kings, Possessor of Mens Necks, forsake his harem for the love of just one woman, and marry her in defiance of the centuries-old code of the Osmanlis?
This is the astonishing story of Suleiman, the one they called the Magnificent, and the woman he loved. From medieval Venice to the slave markets of Algiers, from the mountains of Persia to the forbidden seraglio of the Ottoman's greatest sultan, this is a story of passion and intrigue in a world where nothing is really as it seems.

the stunning sequel to Harem
He is the most powerful man in the world - yet he has no power over his own life?
Historians know what happened during his reign - but they struggle to explain why. What really happened behind the walls of Suleiman's Harem, secret to every man but the Lord of Life himself?
This is the astonishing conclusion to the story begun in Harem; from the shadowed cloister of the seraglio to the mountain fastnesses of Persia, from the private steam baths of pashas to the dusty battlefields of the steppe; from the palace of the Possessor of Men's Necks to the midnight docks at Galata. This is a tale of vengeance and devotion, ruthlessness and compassion, as astounding as it is true.

SILK ROAD OUT NOW!
"1260 AD. in Jerusalem, the weary Crusading army needs a powerful ally against the Saracens. A Templar knight is chosen to plead with the Mongol Horde for help.
In Xanadu, the legendary Kubilai Khan rules the greatest empire in history.
Between them lies the Silk Road: a treacherous route across desert wastes, snowy peaks, and the wide plains of the Mongolian Steppe.
An epic quest... a grand passion. This captivating story of a Templar Knight and a Tatar horsewoman battling with their loyalties in the medieval East marks the stunning return of bestselling Australian author Colin Falconer."
"Falconer's descriptive narrative is exquisite at times ...each short chapter opens with a flowing brush of words that paint precisely, yet mellifluously, in a manner that is almost poetic. The grand schemes of politicking and war are lost amongst the narrative of those who would strive to find peace in both themselves and the world around. Delusion and honour walk hand in hand amongst the pages but we are satisfied with the conclusion, satiated in powerful descriptions, pleased with the fates of all." - Historical Writers Association
