There was once a young girl in the 13th century slave
markets of Iran.
This is the tale of a witch who toyed with a vast continent.
After losing her mother and being torn far from her
homeland, Sitara found herself utterly alone.
Still young, with no ability to survive on her own and no
hope for the future,
she is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted lady from a family
of scholars.
"If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble
befalls you, you'll know the best way forward."
Deeply moved by the words of Fatima's son, Muhammad,
Sitara came to understand the possibilities and
importance of knowledge and begins to deepen her
education.
She dreams that one day, she might catch up with
Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in pursuit of
wisdom...
Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the
mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable
march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its
influence across the world.
That boundless ambition finally reaches Sitara's city
At the hands of the empire's fourth prince, Tolui, her
peaceful everyday life comes to an end.
Having lost everything, Sitara vows revenge against the
all-consuming empire.
