After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, she is out to punish anyone who dares cross her, storming the countryside with her men \u2014 but brute force is not getting her what she wants, and thinking of Mehmed, the defiant Ottoman sultan, brings little comfort to her thorny heart.<\/p>\n<p>Her brother caught in the crosshairs. Lada needs the support of her diplomatic younger brother Radu, but Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople, and it is no diplomatic mission: Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines.
