Sirma: A Historical Fiction Novel
In Ottoman-ruled 19th-century Eastern Europe, one girl became the warrior her village needed by pretending to be a man.
Sirma’s world is shattered to pieces when she bears witness to the abuse and murder of her two best friends by a gang of mountain outlaws. The village elders do nothing out of fear of Hamza Bei's wrath.
Fed up with being quiet, she disguises herself as a man and takes the lead of her own gang dedicated to protecting the mountain villages and searching for Hamza Bei to put a stop to his tyranny. Unfortunately, her comrades don’t know she is a woman.
Inspired by the true story of Sirma voivode, who participated in the Haiduk resistance in Eastern Europe.
