In 18th-century Dresden, beauty, power, and ambition are as fragile-and deadly-as porcelain.

Johann Kändler, a young sculptor, is summoned to the royal court, where King Augustus the Strong demands a lifelike porcelain menagerie. Every chisel mark could secure his future-or destroy it. Meanwhile, decades earlier, Fatima, a Turkish handmaiden turned royal mistress, must navigate court intrigues and reclaim her identity in a world where survival means mastering appearances-and power.

Two lives. One king. A deadly obsession.

Why readers can't put it down:

  • A richly detailed, page-turning story of artistry, obsession, and survival
  • Dual timelines exploring ambition, love, and the cost of perfection
  • Intrigue, danger, and the human stories behind Meissen porcelain
  • Perfect for fans of Sarah Penner and Emelia Hart

Advance Praise:

"An engrossing, page-turning historical novel. I could not put it down." -Jess Armstrong, USA Today Bestselling Author

"A dazzling tale of art, power, and survival... Forsberg paints history with a vivid hand." -Nancy Bilyeau, Author of The Blue
