Moonlight washes the harem gardens in silver; the scent of jasmine and roses drifts on the warm night air. The doors to the sultan's chamber are closed, guarded by eunuchs with icy stares. You are the favored consort, the only one who can gentle his fierce heart, but tonight the echo of feminine laughter carries from within. You stand frozen, the brocade of your gown rustling as you clench your fists. Just how far will your patience stretch, you?
