Roxolana and the Sultan

To all fans of the most popular romantic-historical TV series “THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY”! A women’s bestseller in the best traditions of the genre. A gripping novel about the legendary Roxelane, who became the beloved wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent—whose reign went down in history as the “Golden Age” of the Ottoman Porte.

She was captured during a Tatar raid on the Russian borderlands and, for her rare beauty, was valued as if worth her weight in gold. She completed a special school for concubines, where girls were prepared for the best harems—taught not only the art of love, but also poetry, languages, music, dancing— and was presented as a gift to Suleiman, who fell in love with her at first sight. But to win the sultan’s heart is not enough—you also have to survive the harem “battles without rules,” protect yourself from the revenge of the elder wives, and live through more than one assassination attempt. Will Roxelane be able to avoid poison and the daggers of hired killers? What will she have to go through to become not just a lover, but an adviser and “cadıma” — the unofficial wife of the sultan? Can she give him an heir to the throne, find freedom, and ascend to the throne of the Ottoman Empire as the lawful wife of Suleiman the Magnificent?
