The Ottoman Flower Quartet steps into Terra’s past. The year is 1750 and Sultan Orhan of the Osmanic Dynasty rules the greatest Empire the world has ever seen. But all is not well in the Ottoman Empire as Orhan has been held in the east putting down the revolt of the Persian Safavid threat that has managed to rebuilt in the years since his great grandfather, Süleyman the Great, originally brought them to heel. The loyalty of the homeland of Anatolia is wavering and its hope lies in the Beylerbey, a Sultana, an Ağa, and a slave.

Book 1: A Trampled Blossom

Miska has lived as a slave in the decadent halls of Arzu Ocağı under the thumb of Paşa Iskander. Each day is a fight to survive his crushing psychological pressure. He wants to break her, to cease her resistance, and accept that she is his. And yet she remains resilient: crushed, but not broken.

Beylerbey Timur Almasoğlu is fighting on every front. Tasked with holding Anatolia against raiding bandits, Persian threats, and internal decay, he is requisitioning men for the Sultan’s cause. During one such visit, the brilliant and clearly mistreated slave catches his keen intellect and observation. Paşa Iskander goads Timur into levying her as part of the souls he is taking.

As they travel to prepare the winter fortress of Boğazkesen Konağı, Miska and Timur must learn the measure of one another. Timur fights to understand if this formidable slave is a spy, the most valuable tactical asset he could possibly have acquired, or the most impossible miracle: the wife he thought lost to a bandit massacre six long years ago.
