Born a slave and taken from her homeland on the shores of the Black Sea, Karolina never imagined that her fate would become intertwined with that of a future emperor. Chosen for the harem of the young Ottoman prince Suleiman, she enters a world ruled by tradition, ambition, and dangerous rivalries. Renamed Gülbeyaz-the White Rose-she quickly captures Suleiman's heart with her kindness, intelligence, and quiet strength. While other women scheme for power through sons, Gülbeyaz builds her influence through loyalty, compassion, and an ever-growing family. Over two decades, she bears fourteen children, survives the jealousies of rivals, and forms an unlikely friendship with another captive girl destined to change history: Hürrem. Together, they navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial harem as Suleiman rises from prince to sultan and transforms the Ottoman Empire into a global power. But beneath the splendor of the Golden Age lies a darker reality. Ambitious princes, rival mothers, ruthless viziers, and ancient traditions threaten everything Gülbeyaz has built.

Spanning more than seventy years, The Sultana of His Heart is an epic tale of love, friendship, motherhood, and survival. From the slave markets of the Black Sea to the heights of imperial power, Gülbeyaz's extraordinary journey reshapes the destiny of an empire-and proves that true influence is not won through fear, but through the hearts of those who choose to follow you.

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.
