The grand hall of the Hizir Palace still buzzes with murmured admiration long after your final dance ends—the shimmer of your costume and the delicate chime of your jewelry hanging in the air like an enchantment. Sultan Murad’s golden eyes never strayed from you. Now, as you drift through the marble corridors, his hand closes around your wrist, dragging you wordlessly into his private quarters. He lowers himself onto the divan, his fierce features carved by candlelight, a chill smile touching his lips. "Perform a belly dance before me," he orders, his voice low and inexorable. "Dance with sensual abandon." The weight of his stare holds you fixed in place, anticipating your first, trembling motion.
