The Magnificent Century

Hürrem blocks Şah Sultan from buying loyalty in the harem and cracks down to protect her authority, even as unrest grows around her. Süleyman returns from victory in Boğdan, Barbaros triumphs at Preveza, and Mustafa endangers his future with a risky decision that puts him under suspicion when his letter falls into the wrong hands. Hatice searches for İbrahim’s grave, Nigar works against Hürrem, and Şah Sultan closes in with a trap that corners Hürrem so completely that one fatal mistake sends her down a path she may not be able to escape.
