The Poison Throne by Walker Dryden
Tumanbay: Once the most magnificent city on earth - now the dark heart of an empire which 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. And there are whispers of rebellion, of a reckoning - as well as rumblings of plague on the horizon...Walker Dryden is the pseudonym for writing team Mike Walker and John Scott Dryden.
John Scott Dryden is an award-winning writer and director, best known for his work in audio fiction. He created the popular podcast series, Passenger List, and has written and directed many audio drama series for the BBC.
