Story
Tumanbay: the wealthiest city on Earth. The beating heart of a vast empire. A city of dreams, where those who once arrived as slaves now hold power, and merchants, artists and warriors live side-by-side in peace. But this magnificent city is under threat. A rebellion in a far-off province, led by 'Queen' Maya, is gathering strength - and a mysterious force is devouring the empire from within.

Story
Tumanbay: Once the most magnificent city on Earth - now the dark heart of an empire that lies in ruins. Occupied by the fanatical forces of the mysterious cult of Maya, corpses hang from the gallows, and citizens are flogged for next to nothing. Barakat, leader of the Inquisition, leads the purge. Gregor, former spymaster to the Sultan, lives in fear. Madu, heir to the throne, is opiated and installed as a puppet ruler. And Qulan, the great general, rots in prison. But the history of Tumanbay shows that those who can rise to power can just as easily fall.

Story
There's a city far away.... My parents often spoke of it as if it had always been there and always would be. I had seen it in paintings, I had read of it in stories, the richest, most powerful place on earth...the centre of everything. It drew people from every corner of the empire and beyond, hungry for wealth and power, or in some case, more wealth and more power. They were dazzled by its brightness. And like moths drawn to a candle...many were burnt alive by its fire.... Tumanbay.

Story
Willkommen in Tumanbay, einst der Sitz eines mächtigen Sultans - jetzt liegt die Stadt in Ketten. Denn der Herrscher über Tumbay ist tot, sein gefürchtetes Heer wurde vernichtet. Nun regiert eine Frau die prächtigste Stadt der Welt, die geheimnisumwitterte Königin Maya. Doch wo ist die grausame Feldherrin, und warum zeigt sich Maya den Unterworfenen nicht? Während sich die mächtigsten Männer der Stadt vor dem fanatischen Maya-Kult in Sicherheit bringen, regt sich Widerstand. Denn der Thron von Tumanbay ist kein Machtsitz, er gleicht eher einem Todesurteil.

Story
"Die Tumanbay-Saga" beginnt: Der Auftakt einer fesselnden Reihe, basierend auf dem preisgekrönten BBC-Podcast. Willkommen in Tumanbay – einer Stadt, in der Dolche regieren. Einer Stadt, in der aus Sklaven Regenten werden. Einer Stadt, die von Männern geführt und von Frauen zerschmettert wird. Und alles beginnt an dem Tag, als der Sultan einen abgetrennten Kopf als Geschenk einer Königin erhält. Was er nicht ahnt: Maya, die selbsternannte Rebellenfürstin, hält Tumanbay schon längst in ihrem unsichtbaren Griff.
