In a city once called the jewel of the Aegean, destinies collide as empires fade and faith is tested. Smyrna stands at the edge of fire and rebirth, where a coachman’s secret, a young girl’s innocence, and the ambitions of powerful men intertwine beneath the shadow of war.
Through the eyes of those swept away by history’s tide, Başaran Düzgün evokes a haunting world of devotion and betrayal, where the beauty of life endures even as everything familiar turns to ash.
At once intimate and epic, Orphaned Horses Land is a meditation on loss, belonging, and the stubborn will to hope when the world no longer remembers your name.
“I started reading Orphaned Horses Land, a novel based on true life stories, with tears in my eyes — and finished it the same way.”
(Professor Dr. Nilgün Sarp)
