Hande Yildiz is nearly finished with her degree in Architecture, specializing in Landscaping. Standing at 1.75m, she has striking, almond-shaped eyes of a deep, dark brown. Her hair follows suit-thick, dark, and falling in smooth, voluminous waves. She is a woman of strong personality, perhaps a bit stubborn and fiercely impulsive; there are moments when she becomes so blinded by the heat of the second that she acts on pure instinct, only reflecting once the dust has settled. One could say her life took a sharp, irreversible turn the moment her path crossed with Serkan Bolat himself-her arch-nemesis for as long as she can remember. Now, she finds herself trapped in a web of manipulation of his own making, because for Serkan Bolat, everything in life is a game of chess.

But when his love discovers a secret from before they ever met - a file with her name on it - the foundation of their marriage begins to crack. Was she chosen out of love... or strategy? Now Adam must prove that what he feels was never control - it was conviction. And that he chose her for all the right reasons.

At the edge of the world, near Schässburg, a boy is born with no right to choose. In a family of executioners, death is not an exception, but a trade passed from father to son. This is his story, told late, when the sword has fallen silent and the memories can no longer be buried. From the graves dug with bare hands to the shadows of princely courts-from Wallachia to the gates of Istanbul-his life becomes a relentless flight between guilt, survival, and power. In an era where faith and cruelty walk hand in hand, he becomes history's intimate witness and its most unsettling tool. He encounters the greats of the age without ever truly being one of them.
