Long before Süleyman became the Sultan, long before the empire knew the names of Hürrem Sultan, Mahidevran Sultan, even longer before Gulfem Hatun, there was her. Her name was Dilşah. Chosen at sixteen by the powerful Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, Dilşah was carefully prepared for the young prince destined to rule an empire - Süleyman the Magnificent. When their eyes met for the first time, their destiny was sealed. Young, innocent and recklessly in love. She became his first love, his first Haseki, the keeper of his heart in the golden halls of the palace. And when she gave birth to his first son Selim, it seemed fate itself had chosen her to stand beside the future Sultan. But the Ottoman court is a place where happiness rarely survives. When tragedy steals their child only days after his birth, grief poisons everything they once were. Where love once flourished, silence and pain take root. And to Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, a broken woman could never stand beside a ruler of the world. So Dilşah is sent away. Banished from the capital to serve the Valide's daughter, Şah Sultan, far from the glittering palace and the man she once loved. Protected... but forgotten. A living ghost of the past. Ten years later, one night, a letter arrives. Sealed by the hand of the Valide Sultan herself. The empire changes and Topkapi palace changes. The Sultan's heart now belongs to a woman many call a devil - Hürrem Sultan. Valide Sultan is desparate in only hope she has left to get rid of Hürrem. Dilşah is summoned back to the capital. Back to the man she never stopped loving. Because the Valide Sultan is desperate... and Dilşah may be the last hope to save the Sultan from the fire of Hürrem Sultan. But the girl who once left the palace is gone. And the woman returning may be far more dangerous than anyone remembers.

I saw the trailer for House of the Dragon season 2 and it just broke my heart how devastated Rhaenyra look. Since I know a lot of what will happen because I read the books. I decided I wanted to write them a happy ending. 😊 This is part of the Dragon's Heir universe. The Gods realize that the Targaryens are about to kill each other, especially after Lucerys's death. They have seen the way Rhaenyra's heart has harden and they want to save them from making more mistakes. The Gods decide to sent Daemon, Rhaenyra and Aemond to another world so they can see there is another path that can be followed. One that does not have to end in death and destruction. All three of them are sent to meet the Dragon's Heir and a different way of life.

The Gods aren't happy with how things are going with the House of the Dragon, so they send Rhaenyra a few dreams to make her realize the danger she is in. Rhaenyra realizes how horrible of a sister she has been and decides to change things. She will be smarter when playing the Game of Thrones and show her uncle that while she loves him she isn't someone to play with. This story will not follow the TV show or the book timeline, at least not all of it. I have no idea where this story is going. Please be aware that this is just fan fiction and not an actual book.

Shams was one of the small community of Christian on an island belonging to an Arab country, Aradus. This island was a small island in the White Sea being inhabited by only 3 400 people. The White Sea belonged to the Ottman dynasty so their pirates came over to the island whenever they wanted and one of those times they spotted the breathtaking girl going by the name of Shams. Prince Mehmed was itching to rule a Sanjak like his older brother Mustafa but his mother wouldn't let him in fear that she will have to leave the castle with him like the customs demand. When he finally gets to rule a Sanjak he meets the rebellious Shams who refuses to bow down to anyone. #1 samra #3 mustafa This idea came to me after watching the famous show "Magnificent Century". The characters don't belong to me excluding Shams who I made up. The plotline will be changed in the future so Shams will get the ending I want her to. Mehmed's maid still exists but she will have a different plotline than she did in the series.

They say the dragon has three heads. The red dragon on black-the banner of House Targaryen-has always borne three heads. And the tales we know? They tell us of two. There's Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled princess who rose from the ashes of her husband with three dragons and a spine of Valyrian steel. She conquered cities, broke chains, and ruled hearts-only to be destroyed in the arms of love. And then there's Jon Snow-or rather, Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark. The by-product of rebellion. The hidden heir. The reluctant king. The man who killed his own queen. A Stark raised in silence. A Targaryen bathed in tragedy. They say the gods flip a coin for every Targaryen born. One side, greatness. The other, madness. And this generation? They say the coin only ever landed on madness. But what if there was a third head? No, not Viserys. His ghost doesn't belong in the future. I speak of another. Born in the heat of war, wrapped in the blood of dragon and sand, was Princess Visenya Nymeros Targaryen Martell-the youngest child of Elia Martell and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Born mere hours-maybe minutes-before the sack of King's Landing. Too late to be saved with her siblings. Too early to die with her mother. She was sent away in silence, swaddled in urgency, and raised not in exile-but under flame-wrought protection. With her mother's sun-kissed fire and her father's dragon blood, she grew into a force the realm had forgotten to fear. But fear her they would. She would become Visenya the Conqueror, second of her name, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, born of Rhoynar and Valyria. And she would do what Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters once began- But she would finish it. She would raise a Triarchy. She would forge an Empire. So if you dare to follow the story of the dragon the world almost forgot- Turn the page. The flames are waiting.

We all know the stories of the famed Nûr-e-Hayat, the light of Sultan Süleyman's life, guiding him gently-like air, invisible yet ever-present. Now, we watch her in her greatest role: as Baş Haseki, the Sultana of Sultanas, Nûrîcîhân Sultan, as she conspires to place her son, Şehzâde İskender, upon the throne of the Ottoman Empire. Her first step is sending her Şehzâde off to his Sanjak, while she maneuvers the intricate games of power behind the scenes. And while she plots, we-the author and reader-embark on a journey to witness the life of the next Sultan: Şehzâde İskender-his Sanjaks, his friendships, his alliances, his ascension, and, most importantly, the part that captures hearts: his loves, his concubines, and his children. For just as Sultan Süleyman had his light, so too will Şehzâde İskender have his jewel-the one who is destined to rise above all others, the future jewel of his harem, and the successor to the Sultana of the Sultanas.

In a strange twist of history, the sudden death of Sultan Selim, the second of his name, always hits weirdly. That unexpected assassination after the near death of all his siblings, and the ascension of Sultan Qadir, a sultan whose maternity was mostly unnamed throughout history. But sudden discoveries and revelations during excavations unfold, throwing us headfirst into the tale, or more likely the legend, of the hidden consort of Sultan Suleiman, the one who evaded the eye of history while undeniably making it, Zuhre Mihriban Sultan, who we don't exactly know too well. And if you are intrigued by this mysterious sultan, who seems to have evaded history at her finest, if you are intrigued by her story, so am I. Join me as I tell you this tale of a sultana, so playful and fair, yet hidden in the world's mayfair. And with her choices, she makes this dare-her son becomes the sultanate's heir.

Before Hurrem, but after Mahidevran and Gulfem, there was Gevherhan. Born in the Balkans(what later would be Serbian), her Christian name was Mina Pavlović before she was captured and brought to the Ottoman Empire, to Manisa and to the harem of Sehzade Suleiman. A year after Sehzade Mustafa was born, Mina would give birth to a daughter named Zeynep and would surprise many, including Suleiman himself when she was happy with a girl instead of a boy being born. Mina had said that she was happy because then none of her sons would face danger from their half or even full blooded brothers, which earned her annoyed hatred from Mahidevran but secret praise from Valide Hafsa Ayse Sultan. When Suleiman ascends the throne as Sultan Suleiman I, a heavily pregnant Mina, now known as Gevherhan(Suleiman gave her the name after she had talked with him on his jewelry making) and Zeynep go from Manisa to Constantinople/Istanbul with everyone else. When Hurrem and Mahidevran's antics often tire Suleiman, he finds comfort in Gevherhan's presence as she seems content with being the mother of a sultana than a sehzade. But, a few days after Suleiman's ascension to the throne, Gevherhan goes into labor and gives birth to twins, a girl and boy, thus now forcing Gevherhan into playing the game so that her son will live. Whose son will ascend as Sultan after Suleiman? Mahidevran's, Hurrem's or Gevherhan's?
