Sultanselim Stories

The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire has everything: power, wealth, and a throne the world fears. Yet Selim II remains a man haunted by loneliness. When a fierce Venetian woman - Adriana Falier - is brought to the palace after the war, she becomes the only person brave enough to challenge him, argue with him, and see the truth behind the crown. But in a court where Nurbanu Sultan rules, love may become the greatest risk of all. And some enemies are destined to become something far more dangerous... Something the Sultan cannot resist.

Melek is a girl from Shehzade Bayezid who arrives at court as a 'gift' to Shehzade Selim. But behind this lies a conspiracy: she is to become a weapon in the hands of those who crave power. Amidst intrigue, betrayal and jealousy, where even love is a political trap, Melek is forced to choose between duty and feeling, between honour and life. Her love for Selim becomes not a salvation, but a test, a real flame in which both enemies and allies burn.
