Publisher's Synopsis
When Jahan travels to 16th-century Istanbul as a stowaway carrying the gift of a white elephabt for the sultan, little does he know the journey on which he is about to embark. Whispers in the palace gardens and secret journeys through Istanbul lead Jahan to Mihrimah, the beautiful Princess. Still under her spell, he is promoted from simple Mahut to apprentice of the Grand Master Architect, Sinan - when his fortunes take a mysterious change.
