Her Crescent, His Cross Completed 🟩

He was meant to be a warning.
She was trained to never flinch.
When Prince Alexios Komnenos, heir to the fallen Byzantine Empire, is paraded into the Ottoman court as a living trophy, Princess Nilufer is expected to look away. Instead, she looks too long. Raised in the shadow of conquest, she knows better than to trust a man whose blood once ruled Constantinople. But Alexios is not broken-he's calculating, proud, and far too familiar with the art of survival.
Their first encounter is a clash of faith and fury.
Their second, a test of restraint.
By the third, something dangerous begins to bloom.
As Baş Hatun Gulbahar tightens her grip on the throne and Sultan Mehmed prepares to use Nilufer as a pawn in his next alliance, the princess and the prince find themselves bound by secrets, sharpened by longing, and drawn into a game neither can afford to lose.
In a palace where veils conceal daggers and prayers double as politics, love is the most treasonous act of all.
