The story is inspired by the life of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I. It follows Alaaddin from eight years of captivity to the throne, in events set in the Seljuk palace, among members of the dynasty and around Kalonoros Castle, where a major love story and a struggle for power run together. The series deals with the years in which the Anatolian Seljuk state was at its strongest politically, militarily and culturally.
