Gaurav Garg

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
From the blood-soaked mountains of 18th-century Albania, a legend was forged in fire and vengeance. Ali of Tepelena, driven by his father’s murder and the indomitable will of his mother, Khamko, rises from a dispossessed kleft to a cunning warlord. His ambition knows no bounds, his ruthlessness no mercy. He outwits pashas, tames wild clans, and carves a formidable pashalik from the decaying heart of the Ottoman Empire, making Ioannina his glittering, fear-laden capital. 
But as the Lion of Ioannina’s power swells, so too does the envy of his rivals and the alarm of Sultan Mahmud II in Constantinople. Ali plays a dangerous game with European powers, navigates treacherous Ottoman politics, and wages brutal wars against defiant foes like the heroic Souliotes. His reign becomes a court of stark contrasts: opulence and terror, patronage and purges. Can one man, however mighty, defy an empire forever? Or will his insatiable hunger for power lead to a devastating downfall, leaving behind a legacy as complex and bloodstained as the mountains he once claimed as his own?
