To all fans of the most popular romance-historical series “THE MAGNIFICENT AGE”!
A women’s bestseller in the best traditions of the genre. A thrilling novel about the legendary Roxelana, 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 borders and, for her rare beauty, was valued at 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 then presented to Suleiman, who fell in love with her at first sight.
But it’s not enough to win the Sultan’s heart—you also have to survive the “no-rules battles” in the harem, fend off the revenge of the senior wives, and endure more than one assassination attempt. Will Roxelana be able to avoid poison and the daggers of hired killers? What will she have to go through to become not just a mistress, but an adviser and kadıme—an unofficial wife of the Sultan? Will she be able to give him an heir to the throne, gain freedom, and ascend the throne of the Ottoman Empire as Suleiman the Magnificent’s lawful wife?
