Exiled Hearts is a novel born of the cries rising from the Balkans during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Exiled Hearts is the story of a love that takes root in the human heart despite devastation and exhaustion-despite burned villages and shattered lives.

Exiled Hearts is a novel of the 1912 Balkan Wars, of our ancestral homeland Diyâr-ı Rum slipping from our grasp, of the fall of a civilization built on love, and of affections lived and endured amid an atmosphere steeped in suffering.

Written by Vildan Serdar and inspired by true events, Exiled Hearts will carry you across snow-covered roads as you read. You will feel, with your entire being, the brutality of war and forced migration, the eternity of love-and you will not be able to hold back your tears.
