Esin arrives in Istanbul to pursue her university education, only to find herself inexplicably drawn to a mysterious and charismatic stranger. Emir, returning to Istanbul after years away, is on a quest for an artifact that could alter the fate of the world if it falls into the wrong hands. He is captivated by Esin, who bears an uncanny resemblance to someone from his past, making their love inevitable. But as their relationship deepens, it grows increasingly complex—Emir is not only Esin’s professor but also a man with many secrets. Both must confront the sacrifices their love demands. As Esin begins to notice strange and otherworldly traits in Emir, she is thrust into a perilous adventure involving ancient portals, shadowy creatures, and a battle for the future.

Conversations with Edgar Allan Poe, inter-dimensional travel, a quirky artificial intelligence obsessed with Humphrey Bogart, and an ancient secret organization hidden in the tunnels beneath Istanbul add to the mystery, and the city itself becomes a character in this richly woven tale. Readers will be transported from Istanbul’s vibrant student quarters of Bayazit and Aksaray to the historic Eminönü waterfront and the labyrinthine ancient city walls.

The Prince of Light is a thrilling science-fiction adventure that transcends time and dimensions, crafted for young adults and the young at heart. At its core lies an impossible love affair that defies the boundaries of reality.
