THE SWORD OF THE EAST — METE HAN
In development · Submitted to TRT 1A world of its
own.
Mete’s story begins on the rain-soaked night his mother dies. His father, Teoman, blames the child for the loss and sends him away without a name or a home. Mete grows up beside his sister Oylum Hatun, the swordsmith Demir Usta, and the warrior Pamir Bey. Altay, his childhood companion, never leaves his side.
When a fragile peace between the Huns and China begins to break, a sealed letter from Teoman sends Mete toward the Yuezhi. His escape from captivity leads him to command an army of ten thousand. Now he must do more than claim his father’s rule: he must unite the fractured steppe against a rising threat. Betrayal, power and war collide with legends of white wolves and dragons, changing the course of his destiny.
The project dossier was submitted to TRT 1 Channel Coordination. The project owner personally held extensive discussions with TRT directors.
