Tournament of Shadows by S.A. Meade

5.0

I went looking for Tournament of Shadows because I met S. A. Meade at an Author Thing a couple of months ago. Published in 2014, this ticks all my ‘historical detail’ boxes. Set in the mid-nineteenth century in what is now Uzbekistan, it follows two minor characters in the Great Game played between world powers during that period. It has gay romance, political intrigue and journeying through locations I knew nothing about and had to research. A definite re-read.
