The golden throne : the curse of a king

A reconstruction of the life and world of one of the most consequential figures in world history, Suleyman the Magnificent. In Istanbul, 1538, the greatest of the Ottoman Sultans is at the pinnacle of world power, while his family and future are at the mercy of their own dynastic law: whichever of his five sons succeeds him must eventually kill all the others. Suleyman and his terrifying pirate captain Barbarossa face down imperial enemies across two hemispheres.
