He mourned her once.
After losing Elçim Hatun, presumed dead in childbirth, Orhan Bey buried not only a bride, but the fragile alliance between the two branches of the Kayı. Grief drew him into the arms of Holofira, the woman whose name once echoed in every breath he dared to hold back. Their marriage seemed like healing-until it became history rewritten.
But fate was never finished.
One year later, Elçim reappears-veiled, alive, and no longer the woman she was. Her child, long grieved by the court, was lost. Her identity is concealed. Her survival was shaped by exile, silence, and truths no one dared to seek. As she steps into a palace that has moved on without her, Orhan stands between loyalty, guilt, and love, torn at the roots.
Holofira must confront the shadow of the woman Orhan once buried. Elçim must choose whether returning means reclaiming-or letting go. And Orhan must face the cost of love, not as a fire-but as an oath broken by time.
This is not a story of resurrection.
It's the reckoning of what survives when love, duty, and grief collide.
