In the shadowed courts of 17th- and 18th-century Georgia, one man lived between two worlds.
Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani was a nobleman, storyteller, and monk who secretly converted to Catholicism while remaining outwardly Orthodox. As tutor and advisor to King Vakhtang VI, he used fables to reveal uncomfortable truths about power, loyalty, and human nature. When the king was taken hostage in Persia, Saba embarked on a desperate diplomatic mission across Europe-seeking help from Louis XIV at Versailles and Pope Clement XI in Rome.
Storyteller is a sweeping historical novel about the power of words, the cost of integrity, and a man who refused to live a lie-even when the truth threatened to destroy everything he loved.
For readers of literary historical fiction, stories of faith and identity, and the quiet courage of those caught between empires and convictions.
