The Jewel Of The Harem~~~
By AnjaniManda8
We all know the stories of the famed Nûr-e-Hayat, the light of Sultan Süleyman's life, guiding him gently-like air, invisible yet ever-present. Now, we watch her in her greatest role: as Baş Haseki, the Sultana of Sultanas, Nûrîcîhân Sultan, as she conspires to place her son, Şehzâde İskender, upon the throne of the Ottoman Empire.
Her first step is sending her Şehzâde off to his Sanjak, while she maneuvers the intricate games of power behind the scenes. And while she plots, we-the author and reader-embark on a journey to witness the life of the next Sultan: Şehzâde İskender-his Sanjaks, his friendships, his alliances, his ascension, and, most importantly, the part that captures hearts: his loves, his concubines, and his children.
For just as Sultan Süleyman had his light, so too will Şehzâde İskender have his jewel-the one who is destined to rise above all others, the future jewel of his harem, and the successor to the Sultana of the Sultanas.
