Leyla, a modern, intelligent woman with political ties to the Sultan, is caught between her duty to her family and her duty to her nation. Her comfortable life with her two children and husband is threatened once the Allies occupy Istanbul.

As her brother and friends fight for survival and the independence of their country, Leyla must find a way to join the struggle without sacrificing too much in the process.

A distinguished Turkish family in danger, a daring German archaeologist, a French military officer who risks his reputation in search of love, desperate Russian refugees...

As East meets West, gripping characters bring alive this thoroughly researched, moving novel about a changing world. While a new Turkey rises from the ashes of the dazzling Ottoman Empire, Leyla learns the price she must pay for her independence and freedom.
