Katalin Báthory, the illegitimate daughter of a Hungarian count, lives hidden from the world until one violent night steals her from everything she has ever known. Torn from her homeland and sold into the heart of the Ottoman Empire, she is brought before the most powerful woman in the dynasty: Nurbanu Sultan. Seeing in the quiet brown-eyed girl a weapon against her greatest enemy, Nurbanu renames her Gevheri - the jewel - and sends her to Manisa to capture the attention of Şehzade Murad, a prince hopelessly consumed by his love for Safiye Sultan. But the palace is not built for love. Among silks, secrets, and betrayal, Gevheri quickly learns that every smile hides ambition and every child born becomes both a blessing and a danger. As Murad's affection for her grows, so does Safiye's hatred. What begins as a political game soon transforms into something far more dangerous when Gevheri herself falls deeply in love with the prince she was sent to manipulate. From frightened foreign girl to imperial wife of Sultan Murad III, Gevheri must survive the ruthless world of the Ottoman court - a world where sisters create rivals, mothers bury children, and power is paid for in blood. Because in the Ottoman palace, jewels are admired... but they are also possessed.

In the golden halls of the Ottoman Empire, love is more dangerous than war. Stolen from the shores of Europe and stripped of her name, Catalina de Velasco - the hidden illegitimate daughter of Charles V - is brought to the imperial harem of Suleiman the Magnificent as a slave. But Hürrem Sultan sees something far more valuable in the defiant Spanish girl. Renamed Mahnaz, "the moon beloved by all eyes," she is sent to Konya with a dangerous mission: protect Şehzade Bayezid from his own fury - and report his every move back to the palace. Caught between loyalty and survival, Mahnaz enters a world of royal rivalries, deadly secrets, and forbidden ambition. But the closer she grows to the fiery Ottoman prince, the more dangerous her role becomes. Because Bayezid was never meant to love her. And Mahnaz was never supposed to love him back. As empires threaten to crumble and brothers prepare for war, Mahnaz must decide who she truly belongs to: the dynasty that enslaved her... or the man who became her home beneath the crescent moon.

As love, rivalry, and ambition consume the palace, she finds herself caught between destiny and duty. No one knows who she truly is. Not the harem. Not her enemies. Not even the Sultan. Until one secret changes the fate of two empires.

Book 2 in the Heed My Name Series. Excerpt: "He looked down, watching her face peacefully lull against his chest plate; she was sleeping, just sleeping. Any other thought would only cause him panic; she would be well, she would live, she is alive. The words echoed in his skull, repeating them over and over to himself. In a kinder world, what would they have been? From the start? Would he have teased her? Maybe picked her flowers? She would have denied him, and he would have chased her until she'd call him "mine". But this world isn't kind." ___________________________________________________________________ After the blood-drenched night, pieces that once seemed to fit neatly into place are now scattered and distorted into a picture far from the prophecy Orion had imagined for himself. Sutekh has lost far more than his head, but those losses soon turn out to form unlikely alliances which are now the only strings keeping the play from falling apart. Kallista might have gained what freedom she sought, but at what price? To be hunted like game by the very Empire she'd been promised to one day inherit. But will that very game be what finally unravels what desires she swore to keep buried, or will Orion's secrets be what ultimately destroys what they fought so hard to deny? _________________________________________________________________________________ DISCALIMER Be aware that this is an unedited first draft of this story and that English is not my first language.
