Synopsis:

In 1974 a conflict broke out that was to elevate the Easter Mediterranean and the Asia Minor world in sunder. The Turkish invasion of Cyprus lasted a few days, until the sophisticated spirit of Northern Greek Cyprus lay crushed under Turkey’s brutal heel.

During the years of occupation, a young handsome Turk called Yusuf is tossed by fate into the vortex of this bitter conflict. Following his many adventures the Young Turk is forced to continue his quest for his future in unexpected circumstances and places.

What follows is love, lust, violence, philosophy, architecture, battle, poetry, psychology, and politics – from alpha to omega.

Yusuf, a dazzlingly handsome young citizen of a noble family, is captured in battle and delivered into modern slavery and prostitution. Befriended by an academic in London, and adopted by an English Gentleman he rises to prominence in an era of matchless bravery, corruption, and conflict.
