The Story
A Scholar Out of Time
You are a modern-day scholar of ancient Middle Eastern poetry and mysticism — torn from your world and cast into the opulent, dangerous heart of 16th-century Constantinople. An underground movement — whispered about only in shadow — needs your knowledge to survive.
The great mystic poet Rumi's words have been forbidden across the Ottoman Empire. A sacred poem, the last of its kind, must reach the one person who can protect it: the Haseki Sultan, the queen herself. But she dwells deep within the palace, past locked chambers, vigilant guards, and riddles woven into the very architecture.
Decipher puzzles. Earn the trust of secret allies. Traverse rooms steeped in history and intrigue. The poem must not be silenced.
