Saladin Ahmed's
THRONE OF THE CRESCENT MOON
is one of the most exciting fantasy debuts in years. This free
eBook-only sampler contains a lengthy extract from the novel, exclusive
background material, two short stories set in the Crescent Moon Kingdoms
and an interview between Scott Lynch and Saladin!
The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, land of djenn and ghuls, holy warriors and
heretics, Khalifs and killers, is at boiling point. A power struggle
between the iron-fisted Khalif and the mysterious master thief known as
the Falcon Prince is reaching its climax. In the midst of this brewing
rebellion, a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes at the heart
of the Kingdoms. Only a handful of reluctant heroes can learn the truth,
and stop the killing. Saladin Ahmed was born in Detroit and raised in
a working-class, Arab American enclave in Michigan. His short stories
have been nominated for the NEBULA and CAMPBELL awards, and have
appeared in Year's Best Fantasy and numerous other magazines,
anthologies, and podcasts, as well as being translated into five foreign
languages. THRONE OF THE CRESCENT MOON is his first novel. Saladin lives
near Detroit with his wife and twin children.
