Derûn

For forty years, Marife has lived alone in a mountain house in the Black Sea region. In her youth, she fell for Ilyas, but their plans to marry collapsed when she fell ill—a sickness secretly orchestrated by Yahya, who loved her from the shadows and wanted to expose Ilyas's true nature. Poisoned honey stripped Marife of her beauty, and with it, Ilyas's love. He fled; she withdrew into bitter isolation. Forty years later, Ilyas's son, Ateş, brings his father's body to Trabzon. The will asks for burial in Marife's garden. Her answer comes back burning with rage.
