It seems to be a good story but let me just give you guys a real information. Also a problem in this book. From the clothes and names, i think its ottoman empire. But in Ottoman empire Sultan can't just enter harem without approval nor he can get any women he wanted. Cause harem is a dorm in the palace where they teach young girls art, music, science, politics etc. They raise these young women to be wives of ministers and high state officials Who also grows up in a dorm in the palace called Enderun. But then again it could be perisan and i don't know how things work in there.
