🏅 Finalist, 2026 American Fiction Awards — Historical Fiction

From award-winning author Jillian Forsberg, author of The Rhino Keeper, comes an unforgettable tale of art, ambition, and survival set in the glittering—and dangerous—court of eighteenth-century Dresden.

In eighteenth-century Dresden, beauty, power, and ambition are as fragile—and deadly—as porcelain.

Narrated by Caroline Hewitt, The Porcelain Menagerie brings to life a world where artistic genius and royal obsession collide.

Johann Joachim Kändler, a gifted young sculptor, is summoned to the court of King Augustus the Strong, who demands a magnificent porcelain menagerie unlike anything the world has ever seen. Every sculpture could secure Johann's future—or cost him everything.

Decades earlier, Fatima, a Turkish handmaiden chosen to become the king's royal mistress, must navigate a court ruled by power, spectacle, and impossible expectations. To survive, she must protect her identity while mastering the dangerous game played within the palace walls.

Two timelines. One king. A legacy shaped by obsession.

Perfect for listeners who love richly researched historical fiction, immersive settings, unforgettable characters, and the hidden stories behind history's greatest works of art.
