In the treacherous court of the Ottoman Empire, brothers Selimus and Bajazet vie for the Sultan's crown. Selimus, the younger son, schemes to seize power by any means necessary – even if it means murdering his own father. As the two princes wage a deadly game of wit and guile, the fate of an empire hangs in the balance. In this Machiavellian tale of ambition and fratricide, only one brother can emerge victorious.
