Episode description
Mihail leaned forward. The red light of the candle bled up over both our faces. “Well then I’ll keep speaking your language, if you’ll survive. Have you ever heard of the ‘Devshirme System’?”
“It sounds electrifying.”
“Also sometimes called the ‘Ottoman Blood Tax?’”
--Written by Alexander Saxton. Performed by Marta da Silva.
