Every empire begins with a mother's sin. Every Lilith leaves a mark no man can forget, and every life that crosses her path is altered, or quietly undone.
Hülya was not born cruel. She was born clever in a world that devours the innocent and mistakes gentleness for weakness. In the court of Mehmed III, mercy is a luxury few survive, and love is a liability that can cost a throne.
So she chooses fire over fear, ambition over surrender, and sin before sin has the chance to choose her.
Merciless is the story of a mother who refused to fall in a world designed to bury her, and of the empire that would never be the same because of it.
