Periodromance Stories

We all know the stories of the famed Nûr-e-Hayat, the light of Sultan Süleyman's life, guiding him gently-like air, invisible yet ever-present. Now, we watch her in her greatest role: as Baş Haseki, the Sultana of Sultanas, Nûrîcîhân Sultan, as she conspires to place her son, Şehzâde İskender, upon the throne of the Ottoman Empire. Her first step is sending her Şehzâde off to his Sanjak, while she maneuvers the intricate games of power behind the scenes. And while she plots, we-the author and reader-embark on a journey to witness the life of the next Sultan: Şehzâde İskender-his Sanjaks, his friendships, his alliances, his ascension, and, most importantly, the part that captures hearts: his loves, his concubines, and his children. For just as Sultan Süleyman had his light, so too will Şehzâde İskender have his jewel-the one who is destined to rise above all others, the future jewel of his harem, and the successor to the Sultana of the Sultanas.

Belinda Woodberry does not have the luxury of innocence. With a fragile family depending on her and little money left to their name, she survives on cleverness, courage, and choices that skirt the edge of propriety. Love has never been part of her calculations-until Alexander Blackwell enters her life with an offer as dangerous as it is convenient. Alexander is finished playing obedient son. Pressured into marriage and heir-making by a relentless mother, he proposes an arrangement of his own: a carefully staged courtship that will silence Society and grant them both temporary freedom. For Belinda, it means protection. For Alexander, control over his future. Neither expects emotion to complicate the bargain. But London thrives on secrets, and arrangements have a way of unraveling. As whispers sharpen into threats and Belinda's carefully balanced world begins to fracture, Alexander is forced to decide what he's willing to risk-his reputation, his family's approval, or the woman who was never meant to matter this much. Because some promises are negotiated. Some are demanded. And some are gambled on with your entire heart.
