"Harem: The Real Life of Hurrem" by Colin Falconer is a gripping story of betrayal, revenge, and murder spanning four decades. From medieval Venice to the slave markets of Algiers, from the mountains of Persia to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. Suleiman the Magnificent, the greatest sultan of the Ottoman Empire, must protect his legacy at any cost. On the battlefields and behind the forbidden palace gates, his sons and viziers are drawn into a deadly intrigue for absolute power. Concubines compete for his favor, no matter the cost. One of them is Hurrem. She knows there is only one way out of the sultan's golden prison: to attract his attention and bear him a child. In Venice, Abbas is the impulsive and stubborn son of the city's military commander. He embarks on a reckless romantic adventure with horrifying and unimaginable consequences. Fate brings Abbas and Hurrem together in the Byzantine world of the Ottoman court. Their intrigues threaten the future of the Ottoman throne, and if they are exposed, they both face a terrible death.
