Halef: Köklerin Çağrısı

The Yelduran and Kordağlı families in Urfa have a long-standing feud, which ends with Serhat and Yıldız’s marriage. However, Serhat, a successful surgeon in Istanbul, never wanted this union and planned to move abroad. His life changes when he meets Melek and falls in love. Though he is the Yelduran heir, Serhat rejects the role and the marriage to Yıldız, wanting to marry Melek and start a new life in Istanbul. When Serhat returns to Urfa due to his father's illness, he refuses the family pressure, determined to leave everything to his brother Akif. The Kordağ family, however, is unwilling to let Serhat go without marrying Yıldız. As Serhat plans his escape, Akif, who dreams of becoming the "lord," sets in motion a series of events that will alter everyone's fate, including Melek’s.

Bekir Ağa's sudden death heralds a new era. In this chaotic atmosphere, Melek offers Serhat the chance to leave everything behind and return to Istanbul with her. This is Serhat's only wish, but Aşır has a surprise in store for Serhat, who wants to leave Yıldız behind. Sevde confronts Sultan with the heavy burden of the past and invites Melek on a journey that reaches back to her roots and is filled with secrets. Akif, who dreams of becoming a ağa, has his plans in motion. Trying to convince Serhat to return to Istanbul with Melek, Akif realizes he must first quietly eliminate Hatçik, who he has learned has witnessed everything. As he confidently advances towards the ağa position, Deli Sevde makes a move that will thwart all his plans. But this move not only thwarts Akif's plans but also brings Yıldız one step closer to her dreams.

With Serhat accepting the title of successor, the balance of power in Urfa shifts completely. This decision sets in motion a new chapter for both the Yelduran and Kordağlı families. Serhat confronts his brother Akif harshly over their father’s death, while Akif continues to plot in secret to reclaim the position of heir for himself. As Melek begins to uncover new truths about her own past, Sevde’s silence finally breaks, leaving no place to hide for those who have long avoided facing their past. Serhat’s acceptance of the succession and his inability to return to Istanbul with Melek shake the fragile peace within the Yelduran mansion, heightening the tension between Melek and Yıldız with each passing day.

Akif’s shooting paves the way for reconciliation between the two brothers, but linking the attack to the Kordağlı family reignites tensions between the two clans. The marriage that was supposed to end the feud has now lost its purpose, and hopes for peace are shattered. Meanwhile, Sevde’s veiled threats corner Ziyan Ağa even further. Questioning whether Sevde’s claims are true, Sultan—shaken by recent events—finds only one way out: sending Yıldız away from the mansion. On the other hand, Melek agrees to stay at the mansion with Serhat, but only under one condition. Now, Serhat faces a crucial decision: will Yıldız remain at Yelduran Mansion, or return to her father’s house? As Yıldız does everything she can to stay, she now finds herself up against Sultan instead of Melek. Meanwhile, Melek corners Nergis and Hilmi, demanding the truth about whether they are her real parents—there’s nowhere left to hide.

Serhat’s decision not to send Yıldız away from the mansion once again puts his relationship with Melek at an impasse. Emerging stronger from the situation, Yıldız makes a strategic move and proposes an alliance to Akif to further her own goals. Although Serhat has avenged the bullet wound inflicted by Aşır, Ziyan Ağa has no intention of remaining silent about the incident and chaos is about to erupt once more. In an attempt to protect herself from Ziyan Ağa’s threats, Sevde confides in Meryem, revealing dark secrets from the past. This revelation shifts Meryem’s focus entirely onto Melek. Meanwhile, the people who kidnapped Hilmi and Nergis are not merely after Hilmi’s gambling debt but there’s a much bigger scheme unfolding behind the scenes.

Melek’s public declaration that she wants to divorce Serhat throws their relationship into turmoil. Meanwhile, when Serhat discovers that Meryem has sent someone to follow Melek, he decides to take action against the Kordağlı family. However, Halim’s blackmail scheme, a set up through Hilmi in collaboration with the Kordağlıs, backs Serhat into a corner. To protect Hilmi and expose the dirty game, Serhat and Akif make an unexpected move. Melek’s decision to divorce works in Yıldız’s favor, as she’s been determined to drive Melek out of the mansion. Yet unwilling to leave anything to chance, Yıldız continues to devise new plans to completely remove her from their lives. Meanwhile, Sevde’s threats from the past grow increasingly dangerous for both Sultan and Meryem. Now, they share a single goal: to ensure that the secret about Melek never comes to light, no matter the cost.

Melek’s decision to stay in the mansion and declare herself Sultan’s successor sets off a new power struggle within the household. A fierce rivalry begins between Melek and Yıldız over who will take Sultan’s place as the lady of the mansion. Yet, it is Serhat who will have the final say in this battle. Yıldız makes the first move, organizing a dinner between the Kordağlı and Yelduran families to mend relations, but Melek has her own plans and surprises for that evening. Meanwhile, Sultan and Meryem assign Yusuf the task of carrying out their plan to eliminate Sevde. Torn between his conscience and his loyalty to Sultan, Yusuf faces an agonizing choice. At the same time, the discovery of ancient artifacts on the mining land ignites a new conflict between the Kordağlı and Yelduran families. Seeking to turn the situation to their advantage, the Kordağlıs decide to form an alliance with Akif, a move that will once again shift the delicate balance of power.

Sevde’s shocking public confession changes everything for Melek. Each secret from the past that comes to light pushes her further into a desperate search for truth and identity. Meanwhile, Yusuf who failed to carry out Sultan’s order to kill Sevde, faces a punishment he could never have imagined. At the same time, after being humiliated by Serhat at dinner, Ziyan Ağa directs his anger toward Yıldız. The price he demands for her to make amends is devastatingly high, forcing Yıldız to choose between her family and Serhat. Elsewhere, Akif attempts to sell the ancient artifacts he stole from the Kordağlıs’ cave. But when Serhat learns about the missing treasures, he begins his own investigation. Caught between danger and exposure, Akif tries to save himself by turning Serhat into his next target.
