A Tudor Turk
Istanbul, 1593 - returning from their previous mission with the death of their Commander weighing heavily upon them, there is no respite for the Ruzgär unit, as they are declared traitors to the Ottoman Empire and banished from the legendary Janissary order. Even the recovery of the fabled Armour of David, so prized by the Sultan is not enough to prevent this.
Now, desperate and on the run, Will must turn to the sinister Earl of Rothminster as an unlikely protector. Meanwhile Awa and the remaining Ruzgär, outcasts as far as the authorities are concerned, are nevertheless called upon by their small band of supporters to protect the very people who have declared them enemies of the empire, as a mysterious force threatens to engulf the capital. All roads lead to Istanbul and all who traverse it, will be plagued by a demon's touch.

What Readers Say
Fast Paced and Great Fun. Really enjoyed reading this book. The pace is fast and the scenes are energetic. Characters are really interesting and well built up, which made the various twists and turns even more enjoyable. Loved being transported to the various locations around the world, and getting a good sense for what life was like back then. You can tell the author researched his history well. I’m already looking forward to the sequel!
Beyond expectations. I really didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the way the book was written. I know it sounds like a cliché but it was a real page turner, each section brought on more intrigue and I learnt a lot about the history of the era as I found myself also trapped in the era. This isn’t usually the type of book that I read but I found it very enjoyable and looking forward to the next book, which I hope will not be far behind this one. Well done Rehan Khan and I can see this becoming a motion picture
A brilliant book filled with historical aspects and full of adventure adrenaline inducing, multicultural historical fiction. I would surely recommend this book
A story that will keep you gripped and take you on a journey across continents in the Tudor times, much to learn and much to enjoy. We have really enjoyed this book and recommend!
With its vividly portrayed settings and exciting storyline, this is a powerful and engrossing story. Recently, I have reviewed very little top-quality historical fiction for teens, so this fills a gap and I hope will engage a new generation with the genre
Highly recommended. Reading A Tudor Turk, I felt like an armchair traveller, no longer tethered to the ground but catapulted into the air above the spectacular landscape of Istanbul in1591. And then I was on the ground again, wielding my own scimitar alongside two fine young warriors, Will and Awa – both far from home but unafraid. In turn, like them, I became a prisoner, a gladiator, spy, the pursuer and pursued. And all this in the name of a sacred Quest. The story feels constantly dangerous; it is wildly exciting. It stretches the mind and makes the heart beat faster. Total immersion. I cannot wait for Book 2
