    About this series

    'The Thracian Sun' is the first book in the six part series

    titled 'The Ottomans'. Orhan I, one of the founders of the

    Ottoman State, appoints Suleiman Pasha as the army

    general during his reign. The prince came to be called

    the Thracian Sun due to his victorious conquests at a

    young age and enabling passage into Thracian lands. In

    the meanwhile, the fight between and for the Byzantine

    throne had weakened the state. Constantinople realised

    the magnitude of the approaching danger and attempted

    to quash its internal struggles in preparation for attack.

    However, as it was surrounded and had no room to

    manoeuvre, it found itself in dire straits. Suleiman

    Pasha, who left no Byzantine castle unconquered in

    Rumelia, died in an unfortunate hunting accident and

    his brother Murad I ascended to the throne. All the

    historical characters in this novel are represented in

    their individual worlds through Murat Tuncel's words.

    He tells the story of the passage of the last great empire

    from Anatolia to Thrace and the Balkans. Through his

    masterly use of epic language, Tuncel sometimes gives

    voice to a mountain, sometimes to the sun, the clouds

    and also to the fears and hopes of those both inside and

    outside a beleaguered castle.

    "Upon receiving the news, the feeling that his mansion

    had crumbled on top of him overcame Orhan I as he

    gasped for breath. He struggled out to the gardens as he

    realised that his body couldn't bear the pain he felt

    between the four walls of his room. Once outside he let

    out such a yell that even Mount Olympus, leaning her

    shadow over Bursa, would take two steps back in fear at

    the extent of this pain. As soon as she overcame her fear

    and saw that this painful scream was none other than

    the outcry of a helpless father she approached warily to

    console him with her shadow."
