*Winners Are Losers in the Ancient Ottoman Empire* is a gripping historical novel that chronicles the brutal rise to power of Sultan Selim I, known as Selim the Grim, and the moral and emotional consequences of his ruthless pursuit of the Ottoman throne. Set in the turbulent 16th century, this tale delves deep into the personal and political costs of victory in the vast and power-hungry world of the Ottoman Empire. The story begins with Selim's exile, as his father, Sultan Bayezid II, remains in power, ruling with caution and seeking to preserve peace. However, Selim is determined to claim the throne for himself, believing his father's weakness is the empire's downfall. The narrative follows Selim's merciless rise, including the dramatic betrayal of his brothers, the elimination of political rivals, and his ruthless consolidation of power. As Selim consolidates his empire, he embarks on a series of conquests to expand the Ottoman borders, including his victories over the Persians, culminating in the decisive Battle of Chaldiran, and his subsequent conquest of Egypt, where he not only secures land but also claims the title of Caliph, cementing his authority over the Muslim world. These military campaigns are characterized by brutality and swift actions, demonstrating Selim's unyielding ambition.
