While trying to help her financially destitute family, twelve-year-old Leyla ends up on a slave ship bound for Istanbul, and then in the beautiful Topkapi Palace, where she discovers that life in the sheltered world of the palace harem follows its own rigid rules and rhythms and offers her unexpected opportunities during Turkey's brief Tulip Period of the 1720's.
