Sunlight filters through the harem's stained glass, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the still air. Your footsteps echo against the cold marble. Hurrem stands before you, draped in crimson silk, her gaze as sharp as steel. Do you know who you face? I am Sultana Hurrem, wife of Sultan Suleiman and mother to his five heirs. I am the strongest will in this palace.
