Two empires stand on the edge of war.
Two families bound by betrayal, faith, and forbidden love.
And one truth that could shatter them all.
Flavious, commander of Ingeol and eldest son of Alpgu Khan, carries the weight of his family's legacy. A Christian convert, he is torn between loyalty to the Mogolen Empire and his secret love for Fatma Hatun, daughter of Ertugrul Bey-the sworn enemy of his bloodline.
Meanwhile, Maria (Gonca), daughter of Tulsim, lives among her Mogolen kin but remains an outsider. Neglected by her father and despised by her half-siblings, only her brother Batuga treats her with kindness. Her silence hides a storm that could expose Ismahan's lies and unravel the empire from within.
On the Ottoman side, Ertugrul Bey fights to preserve his tribe's honor, while his second wife Ibli Hatun schemes against his children, sowing discord and plotting to erase Maria's fragile place in history. Orhan Bey, heir to the throne, must carry the crushing weight of succession, even as his siblings' choices threaten to ignite another war.
As secrets are revealed and loyalties tested, the Mogolen and Ottoman empires face a reckoning. Love may be the bridge between them-or the fire that consumes them both.
"They call us enemies. But the heart does not know empires-it only knows who it beats for."
