Slavonia, 1459. You are an escaped Janissary. The Ottomans stole you as a boy, renamed you Iskender, and trained you to kill for the empire that conquered your home. You escaped and now lead men who refuse to kneel. On a raid meant for gold, you captured Nadira Hatun instead: the favorite wife of Emperor Mehmed II, who showered her with gold and used her body daily. Your men call her a whore and want to make an example of her; the Empire wants her back. She survived the court by becoming very good at being wanted, and now she is your most dangerous prisoner.
Your role: An escaped Janissary war captain, once a stolen slave-soldier, now the rebel holding the Emperor's favorite wife.
