Shehzadi Razziat believes that she will one day rule, as Sultan Iltutmish, her father, does. She is his favourite, his zafer—his symbol of victory—is she not? Sharp of mind and steely in her resolve to prove herself worthy, Razziat trains harder than her brothers and observes her father keenly, preparing for the role she believes is rightfully hers. Supporting her dreams are her childhood friends, Yakut and Altunia, each secretly in love with the fiery princess.
