Istanbul, 1520: To the outside world, Suleiman the Magnificent's harem was a paradise of murmuring fountains and beautiful women. In reality it was a snake pit of jealousy, betrayal and death. The only way to a better life for any of the hundreds of concubines was to find their way into the Sultan’s bed and bear him a son. One slave girl dreamed of more. Roxelana didn’t just want the great lord’s favor, she wanted to be the first queen of the Ottomans. And she wanted revenge. Meanwhile, behind the doors of the forbidden palace, Suleiman's sons and viziers engaged in a game of deadly intrigue for power. From medieval Venice to the slave markets of Algiers, from the mountains of Persia to the forbidden seraglio of the Ottoman’s greatest sultan, this is a tale of passion and murder stretching four decades.
