In the turbulent Balkans of medieval times, where peoples and civilizations collide and conflicts, disturbances, and ambitions reign, a young princess will shoulder an unbearable duty: to reconcile conflicting worlds.

As the daughter of the ruler of Serbia, with her mother being the Greek Irene Kantakouzenos, she was supposed to marry Constantine Palaiologos, but in the end, she becomes the wife of Sultan Murad II and the honored stepmother of Mehmed II the Conqueror.
Through her life, the reader witnesses the entire mural of a tumultuous era: civil wars, intense loves, bloody wars, horrifying massacres and genocides, as well as dark conspiracies and ruthless power struggles that shaped not only the history of the Balkans but also the whole of Europe during the critical years of the 15th century.

Once again, the acclaimed author George Leonardos manages to combine in his work the fast pace of a modern novel with the scholarly documentation of a historical narrative, as well as the visual power of a cinematic film.
