The Ghost Of Flesh behind The Ottoman Thrown
This is historical fiction, but much like Chie Shinihara’s Red River manga, I’m going to take some liberties with the fictional parts.
***********************
Murad the first conquered many new territories for the Ottoman Empire (now modern day Turkey). Only a hundred years after The First Crusade, Christianity has spread. And with the new religion, war has also spread. Agnolia, Egpty, Africa, Rome, Greece, Italy, and the Isles, none of their shores were left unscathed.
Most importantly, a young Pictish warrior was not left unscathed. Even as a teenager, Nectumaith had earned her place among the King’s warriors.
Smart, cunning, strong, she was among the kings most trusted guard. As as such was picked to join the scouting party to remove the influence of the Holy Roman Empire from their homeland.

From her beloved Isles, forced aboard a Roman slave ship, take. thousands of miles away to be sold to the Ottoman Empire.
But she is war woman! And Murad I has no idea who he’s taken prisoner!
