The Bird King is a 2019 fantasy novel by American writer G. Willow Wilson.[1] 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.[2]
Laura Miller, writing for Slate, praised the novel for its "[...] rare portrayal of a platonic love fiercer than any of its erotic counterparts."[3]
