GRIEF
Set in a land scarred by war and bound by tradition, Grief tells the devastating story of two wounded souls who find love in the unlikeliest of places—a
legless war veteran and a widowed mother trying to rebuild their lives.
Their bond grows quietly, tenderly, in the shadow of shared pain. But when the woman’s young son discovers his mother’s love for another man, he
cannot bear it. Torn between cultural codes and personal anguish, he commits an irreversible act—one rooted not in hatred, but in a desperate loyalty to
a father lost to time.
What follows is a collapse of hope. Left shattered by grief, the soldier—already a survivor of the battlefield—must now confront a loss even deeper
than war. This time, it’s not just his body that has been broken, but his heart. And with that, the will to live begins to vanish.
Grief is a powerful and haunting novel about love found late, taken too soon, and the silent violence of tradition. It asks: can the human spirit survive
when loss becomes its only companion?

It is 1915, and the Ottoman Empire is fighting on many different fronts even as it struggles against partisan gangs that have plunged eastern Anatolia into chaos.
In a remote part of Erzurum province people continue living ordinary lives in the
Turkish village of Çiğdemli and the Armenian village of Armanlı. That is, until one day partisans burn down the nearby village of Ulya.
When the people of Çiğdemli arrive in Ulya to help they see Ironmaster Hacik’s
dagger on a dead body. Hacik is from Armanlı, and tensions arise between the two
villages. Some people from Çiğdemli want to punish Armanlı, but the old people
object and suggest they first wait for the results of the gendarme’s investigation.

raid on Armanlı with two accomplices. They kill the priest Zaven and his daughter
Sara. Then they burn down the church and escape back to Çiğdemli.

seen. Haçik visits Çiğdemli and returns to Armanlı with Hüseyin Ağa to show him the two bodies. Hüseyin Ağa questions his son Aksak Osman. When Osman confesses, he and his partners in crime are handed over to Armanlı.
Meanwhile, partisans decide to kill Derviş, a mysterious figure who is considered a
holy man by both villages. Their first attempt is a failure. Two partisans regret the
attempt as a sin and flee to Armanlı to confess the plot. The people of Armanlı people in turn inform Çiğdemli about the situation. Both villages believed that bad luck and drought will hit the area if Derviş is killed, so they decide to protect Derviş together.

Güzin’s secret love is discovered. First, the men of the villages wanted to banish
Vanes. When Vanes finds out, he and Güzin run away. They are stopped and killed

Due to the scarcity of food in the region, the state has decided to relocate some of
the villages to more productive lands. The people of Çiğdemli and Armanlı don’t
accept this and hatch a plan to make it appear that the two villages are one. They
manage to convince the government inspector of this and no one is forced to leave
their land.

The police forces are unable to prevent the high rate of crime, and the vacuum in public order has already reached a threatening level. The media claims the police overlooks the violence on purpose with the aim of setting the “issue of security” as the principal agenda of the country. In this way, they say, the police will force the government to provide them with better living conditions.
On the other hand, the police forces claim that the violent acts of crime are encouraged by the intelligence units who want to take control of the streets.

TO TOUCH THE SULTAN
Istanbul is shaken by a series of murders targeting imams – Muslim prayer leaders. The violence of these murders attracts public attention. The fact that all of the victims are imams cause people to suspect that the murders are related to a specific tariqa. In the same period, a substantial amount of arms are purchased in Northern Iraq. The purchase of the arms by two old men from Istanbul alert the Israeli and Turkish intelligence departments that survey the region on a continuous basis.
The secret agents who follow the arms purchase direct their search to Istanbul when the two old men who actually purchased the arms are killed. All this activity is monitored by a special unit within the Turkish state.
The Israeli intelligence department wants to find out what is going on in Istanbul. A female agent called Helin, who has been on the wait in Istanbul for a long time, is assigned this duty.
While Helin is investigating the imam killings, she happens to pinpoint the traces of the Sadiki tariqa. In the meantime, she meets Selim by coincidence. A relationship begins to develop between thw two. However, when some members of the tariqa kill Helin who suspects them, Selim decides to take revenge on the death of the woman whom he loved.
Selim, who leads an ordinary life, is in fact on the “most dangerous 1001 Turks” list of the Turkish intelligence and will be followed until the end of his life. His psychic powers, which he has rejected and suppressed all his life, are stirred with the death of his lover.
Turan Hodja, the second most important man of the Sadiki tariqa, incites a commotion in public life with the terrorist attacks he organizes. On the other hand, the revival of the sultanate is discussed by the media as a possible solution of the ongoing anarchy.
The members of the national intelligence are terribly worried when ordinary terrorists acts indicate the presence of a tariqa that aims to change the mode of government. After the governors of Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara are assasinated, a chase starts in the entire country. However, it is not possible to catch Turan Hodja through usual methods. Thus, the Turkish intelligence department decides to appoint Selim to fulfill this task.
