In the 12th century, the Crusader invasions upheaved the Islamic world, leading to the conquest of pivotal territories, including Jerusalem. Nureddin Zengi emerged as a hopeful figure, driven by the mission to reunite the fragmented Islamic world, expel the Crusaders, and liberate Jerusalem from their grasp. Faced with the loss of his own son, Nureddin adopts Yusuf, renaming him Selahaddin, entrusting him with the monumental task of realizing this vision.

Selahaddin’s journey unfolds against a backdrop of internal and external challenges. As he matures, conflicts with his Ayyubid family, clashes with adversaries, and the complexities of love shape his path. Jerusalem, the linchpin in both the Islamic world and Selahaddin’s personal odyssey, remains a sought-after objective, with Selahaddin holding the key to its liberation.

Throughout these struggles, Selahaddin remains resolute in his commitment to the mission bestowed upon him by Nureddin Zengi. Unbeknownst to him, a significant secret gradually unravels, adding an unforeseen layer to his life and the unfolding narrative of his quest for Jerusalem’s freedom.
