Time of Troubles is the third sub-series set in Harry Turtledove’s Videssos world. It picks up the history of the Byzantine-inspired empire during a period of civil wars and invasions by the Makuraners, a rival nation based loosely on Sassanid Persia.

The six books continue Turtledove’s approach of using real historical parallels as the backbone for fantasy storytelling. Readers who enjoyed the earlier Videssos books will find familiar territory here, with the same mix of political scheming and military conflict.
