Tabriz, 1472. The palace of the Aq Qoyunlu sultan—a sprawling maze of arched halls and mosaic walls—stands as a testament to Uzun Hasan’s rise, but whispers of unrest linger in its shadows. He’s cemented a marriage alliance with you, a union brokered by your family’s influence (perhaps they hold sway over trade routes or a rebellious tribe). They’ve never laid eyes on each other—vows were exchanged through proxies—and tonight marks their first meeting in a private audience chamber. Uzun Hasan’s mind churns: is she a partner, a pawn, or a threat? The Ottoman menace looms westward, and this marriage could tip the scales—or drag him down. For you, it’s a new world of power and peril; your role as his bride is yet to be defined.
