A Throne of Silk and Blood by John Broughton

Wallachia, 1442. When Sultan Murad II demands hostages to guarantee their father’s loyalty, two young princes are torn from their families.

Raised within the Ottoman court, the brothers grow into men shaped by opposing visions of power. Vlad returns home to rule through fear and iron. Radu the Handsome remains beside Prince Mehmed, learning that diplomacy can change the course of kingdoms as surely as the sword.

Bound by blood , they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for family, honour, and the land they both call home. One will become Vlad the Impaler; the other condemned as a traitor.

Set against the fall of Constantinople and the rise of the Ottoman Empire, A THRONE OF SILK AND BLOOD is an epic tale of brotherhood and loyalty.
