The Sultana Of Sultanas
Haseki Nurichihan Sultan-a name once lost to history, now rediscovered in the forgotten corners of time. Her tale begins when, at the age of thirteen, Adeline, daughter of a Greek diplomat, was stolen from her homeland by Tatar raiders. Sold into the Crimean Palace, she learned the brutal art of survival within the harem. But survival, for her, was just the beginning. At sixteen, she was gifted to Sultan Suleiman, her beauty and intelligence outshining the rest. Arriving alongside Hurrem, she entered a world where fire and air would soon collide. If Hurrem was fire-passionate, fierce, unstoppable-Adeline was air-silent, subtle, yet ever-present, slipping through cracks unnoticed, yet capable of moving mountains. The contrast between them was as undeniable as it was dangerous. In a palace where the stakes were nothing less than the Sultan's heart, and where the throne itself was the ultimate prize, Adeline's role was clear: to survive, to outlast, and to rise. She would become a force in the shadows, watching, learning, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. A rival to Hurrem, yet with a strategy so quiet, so deliberate, it could never be predicted. This is the story of a woman who bent history to her will, playing a game of power where only the ruthless and the patient emerge victorious. Will her son claim the throne, or will the fire of Hurrem burn too bright? Time will tell.

PRINCESS| MAGNIFICENT CENTURY | ✔️
When war and love gets combined then love and hate are bond to clash and meet in the middle, and that is exactly how it happened to Katherina. She was the princess and her word was superior, she was the apple of her father's eye and the precious pearl of her mother. This idea came to me after watching the famous show "Magnificent Century". The characters don't belong to me excluding Katherina who I made up. The plotline will be changed in the future so Katherina will get the ending I want her to. Hurrem still exists just not like she was in the show.Complete
