Sofia

Sofia caused a sensation in Turkey where it spent over six months on the bestsellers list. Real historical figures come to life in the exotic sixteenth-century Ottoman world of intrigue and opulence Turks call The Reign of the Favored Women: An ambitious young noblewoman from Venice captured by corsairs and sold into the Sultan's harem vows her future will hold more than sexual slavery. And the young man who sets out to rescue her is asked a price higher than a man can be expected to pay.
