Overview
Story
A young girl and an empress.
United by a common desire for revenge, the two will shake the greatest empire the world has ever seen.
After losing her mother and being torn from her homeland, a young girl named Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted woman from a scholarly family.
“If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble befalls you, you’ll know the best way forward.”
Deeply moved by the words of Fatima’s son, Muhammad, Sitara grasps the potential and value of knowledge and begins to pursue her education.
She dreams that one day, she might catch up with Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in search of wisdom…
Meanwhile, under Emperor Genghis Khan’s rule, the mighty Mongol Empire relentlessly conquers nation after nation, expanding its reach across the globe. Before long, the tides of history reach the city where Sitara lives.
After losing everything to Tolui, the empire’s Fourth Prince, and being taken captive, Sitara decides to use her only remaining asset—her intellect—to infiltrate the royal court and dismantle the empire from within.
She does so while adopting the name “Fatima,” inherited from her mistress.
Though a flame of revenge burns inside her, Sitara outwardly dedicates herself to serving the empire. One day, she has a fateful meeting with Töregene, the sixth wife of the Third Prince, Ögedei. Haunted by her own tragic past, Töregene also harbors a deep hatred for the empire.
Sitara and Töregene, two women who were never meant to cross paths. The moment they join hands, the wheels of fate begin to spin.
