In the harem you love, you rule… or you die. Istanbul, 1520: Suleiman the Magnificent is sultan of the greatest empire on earth. Inside his harem, the concubines will do anything to gain his favour. One of them is Hurrem. She knows there is only one way out of her gilded prison – catch Suleiman's eye and bear him a son. In Venice, Abbas is the impetuous and headstrong son of the city’s military commander. He embarks on an ill-advised romantic adventure with horrific and unthinkable consequences. When a twist of fate throws Abbas and Hurrem together, their intrigues threaten the very future of the empire. Even the greatest sultan in Ottoman history cannot prevent the chaos and tragedy that follow. From medieval Venice to the slave markets of Algiers, from the mountains of Persia to the Topkapi palace of Istanbul, this is a gripping tale of betrayal, revenge and murder.
