In the opulent palace of the feared and revered Murat III, Hannah Levi, midwife to the Sultan's vast harem, is forced to ensure heirs for the kingdom.

And when a mysterious woman turns up on her doorstep, claiming to be her late brother's bride, Hannah must find the courage and wit to defend herself - both against the threat of the palace and the widow-imposter - or lose everything she has ever loved...
