As the Ottoman Empire decided to expand their land, lives were taken and blood was spread across the continent.

Elena had been imprisoned in her room her entire life and had been maltreated by her family since she was a young girl. So, it was a gleam of hope when the raging Ottoman army burned down their house and massacred her entire family, hoping that she might finally be out of this ill-fated life.

But it all came crashing down when she attracted the Sultan Kael's attention and he chose to make her one of his concubines. And just when she felt her life was about to become better, the second prince, Zahir, who was known to be snobby and heartless, started a rebellion and forcefully took the Sultan's crown from his brother. What left her in disdain was when the new Sultan chose her to be the first woman in his imperial harem.

Now, how can she run away from the new Sultan and the treacherous life inside the palace?
