The Bird King
The Bird King is a 2019 fantasy novel by American writer G. [Willow Wilson]. Set in 1491, the novel takes place in the Emirate of Granada during the territory's final days. The story concerns the flight of Fatima and Hassan, a concubine and mapmaker, respectively, from service to the Emirate's last sultan.
Laura Miller, writing for Slate, praised the novel for its " rare portrayal of a platonic love fiercer than any of its erotic counterparts."
