Odalisque

Summary

The Asmanskaya Empire is ruled by the one and only Emperor (Sultan) Suleiman. Within his harem, female slaves live burdened with complex emotions. There is Hürrem, who won the Emperor’s favor through fierce competition. Some long for the honor of sharing his bed—others dread it. Some silently endure the shame of humiliation. And Mahasti… drowns in a forbidden love with a eunuch. Author [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Raku_ichikawa)
