Toward the middle of the 17th century, the Ottoman Empire is still at the apex of its power.
Mehmed IV's ascent to the throne at the age of six, however, greatly intensifies the struggles for power and control in the Sultan's court.
In a world dominated by men, two intelligent, beautiful and ambitious women wage an open war. The young Sultan's grandmother and his mother fight over the regency—a severe battle in which all means are allowed to ensure only one of them comes out victorious.
Who will overcome her adversary? Will it be the experienced Kösem Mahpeyker, who covertly pulled the strings of power through five sultans? Or the tenacious Turhan Hatice, Queen Mother at just twenty years old?
All of this unfolds against the backdrop of the mysterious Sultan's harem—an enigmatic world of beauty, power, manipulation, and betrayal. It's a place where one can rise to glory or be cast aside, consumed by palace politics.
