Daggers in the Dark (Book 3 of Hanthalah)
With the conclusion of the previous Khalifa's reign, and his asylum in Damascus, Hanthalah ibn Ka'b believes that the only turbulence left to trouble him is within his head. But unbeknownst to him, the newly conquered lands are set to erupt with new feuds. Trouble unfamiliar to him, the sort in palace hallways rather than the field of battle. And in every corner of this new state, the children of Hanthalah set out to carve out their own reputations in the world. Their own unique paths find them discovering what it is to be human through love, deceit, betrayal, religion, violence and all things that are life, in a manner reminiscent of their own father. Seeing that their individual opinions over him differ, what happens when their paths converge finally with that of the man who gave them birth?Concluida
The Empress Sultana
The story unfolds within The Crescent Empire, a vast Ottoman-inspired realm of marble palaces, gilded mosques, and endless desert horizons. The harem-known as The Inner Palace-is a world within a world: its courtyards whisper with secrets, and its mirrors reflect both beauty and betrayal. Here, power is not taken by the sword but by a glance, a word, or a whispered rumor. Every woman fights for survival beneath silk veils and jeweled crowns. Beyond the palace gates, trade routes, foreign alliances, and hidden cults threaten the stability of the throne, while inside, faith, desire, and politics weave a storm that can either build or destroy an empire.

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.
