The King of Mosul escapes with the arrival of the Khwarazmian army who fight him along with the Mamluks. As-Salih complies more with the advice of Shajar Al-Durr. Al-Adil is angry at As-Salih's takeover of Damascus.

Shajar Al-Durr seeks to bring the Mamluks closer to her husband. Rukn Al-Din agrees with Fakhr Al-Din to support As-Salih after his arrival in Egypt. Shajar Al-Durr is pregnant. Ismail occupies Damascus and imprisons Omar. Shajar Al-Durr is angry because As-Salih is hesitant to do her bidding.

An-Nasir Dawud proposes peace to the Mamluks and asks Al-Adil for Damascus's rule instead of Ismail in exchange for handing him As-Salih, after which An-Nasir triumphs over the Franks in Jerusalem. Izz Al-Din is frustrated with the imprisonment of As-Salih and his wife for 7 months.

An-Nasir enters into an agreement with As-Salih by handing him the Levant in exchange for the latter's ruling to Egypt. Izz Al-Din quarrels with Baibars who accuses him of loving Shajar Al-Durr. The Mamluks and the princes depose Al-Adil at Bilbeis and he arrives in Cairo before An-Nasir's coup.

As-Salih is welcomed in Cairo and he orders Fakhr Al-Din to head the army while Al-Adil is imprisoned. When Shajar Al-Durr tries to bring As-Salih closer to the Mamluks, he tells her that he will not trust them.

As-Salih lets go the Mamluks of Al-Adil. As-Salih remains beholden to Shajar Al-Durr and breaks his agreement with An-Nasir, so he decides to ally with Ismail against As-Salih, but after his alliance with the Franks, An-Nasir abandons him.

The army triumphs against Ismail and As-Salih's son remains in prison. Shajar Al-Durr gives birth to Khalil. Fakhr Al-Din plans to shift the people's love for the Sultan to himself as he gets more arrogant. As-Salih leaves Shajar Al-Durr in charge in his absence.

Shajar Al-Durr negotiates with Fakhr Al-Din and they exchange admiration. Izz Al-Din marries Khatun and Shajar Al-Durr gets close to her. Both of As-Salih's sons get sick and die, and he rejects his wife's advice to assign Turanshah as his heir.

Khatun gives birth to the boy Ali. As-Salih travels to Damascus and leaves power in the hands of his wife. After his victory, he returns ill to Egypt, and the Crusaders prepare to invade Jerusalem. As-Salih accepts reconciliation.

As-Salih takes Shajar Al-Durr to Ashmum Tanah, despite his increasing illness, while the Crusaders fleet approaches beaches. As-Salih corresponds with Fakhr Al-Din. When the messages are delayed, he thinks the king is dead and withdraws with the soldiers.

Shajar Al-Durr is angry at Fakhr Al-Din's return. Fakhr Al-Din justifies his return to the sultan by saying he believed that there was a coup against him. She finds out that he came back to claim the throne. The sultan devises a plan for attack after the occupation of Damietta.

Fakhr Al-Din tries to get close to the Mamluks. The sultan dies, and his wife decides to hide that news from the people and bury him in secret. Shajar Al-Durr meets with the princes and informs them that Fakhr Al-Din is in charge until Turanshah can take over.

Shajar Al-Durr plans to show Turanshah's recklessness in front of everyone so that she could seize the rule. Fakhr Al-Din faces the wrath of the Mamluks for issuing orders. Shajar Al-Durr sends Aktai to Turanshah before the messenger of Hossam Ad-Din reaches him.

Shajar Al-Durr manipulates both Izz Al-Din and Fakhr Al-Din. Turanshah expresses his indignation at the death of his father. Shajar Al-Durr is angry that Fakhr Al-Din is issuing orders without consulting her.

The plan succeeds and the two towers are demolished with the help of the Mamluks. After a betrayal, the Franks manage to kill Fakhr Al-Din and reach Mansoura, after which the Mamluks force the Franks to withdraw after they kill King Louis's brother.

Turanshah refuses to cede Palestine to the Crusaders in exchange for withdrawal from Egypt. He accuses Shajar Al-Durr of squandering the sultanate's money. When the princes captivate King Louis, Turanshah negotiates with him to leave Egypt and give up Palestine.

Turanshah insults Shajar Al-Durr and jails her in Al-Rawda Palace. He also humiliates the Mamluks while drunk. The Mamluks kill him and hand over power to Shajar Al-Durr.

Shajar Al-Durr appoints Izz Al-Din as the Commander of the Atabak. As feelings of jealousy begin to increase between Khatun and Shajar Al-Durr, the latter asks Izz Al-Din to marry her in order to silence the public’s gossip and end their hatred towards her rule as a woman.

Izz Al-Din refuses to divorce Khatun and marries Shajar Al-Durr. The tension between the Ayyubids and Shajar Al-Durr increases because they refuse to leave the rule of Egypt. Izz Al-Din has a hard time separating being in command and being the Sultana's husband.

As Shajar Al-Durr decides to concede nominally, a disagreement occurs over the ruling decisions, after which the rule is divided between Izz Al-Din and the Ayyubid prince Al-Ashraf Musa in order to placate the Ayyubid family. Izz Al-Din's hatred of Shajar Al-Durr increases.

Izz Al-Din orders Shajar Al-Durr not to attend the Mamluk meetings, and she orders him to divorce Khatun. The hostility between Izz Al-Din, who becomes increasingly arrogant, and Aktai increases. Shajar Al-Durr demands loyalty from the Mamluk leaders.

Izz Al-Din kills Aktai, while Baibars and Qalawun remain loyal to Shajar Al-Durr. Khatun plans to take revenge on Shajar Al-Durr. As Izz Al-Din decides to wed again, he insults Shajar Al-Durr and turns against her.

Shajar Al-Durr retaliates against Izz Al-Din and sends men to kill him in her palace. Ali inherits the throne and Izz Al-Din's allies surround the palace. As Shajar Al-Durr refuses to escape, Khatun sends her servant to kill her. They throw her body outside the palace.
