Şahinşah seizes Karacahisar and sparks a frontier revolt, then hunts Orhan and Asporça to a cliff where Orhan chooses a desperate leap over capture. As Şahinşah unleashes a bloody raid on Bursa, the palace descends into chaos and Kasım faces death, while the wounded Flavius clings to life and declares his wish to convert for love of Fatma. With Bursa on the brink and Şahinşah marching toward the throne, Orhan must rise from the abyss before the empire falls into his enemy’s hands.
