The series details the life of Oruc Reis, Hizir Reis and their brothers. The plot starts from when Oruc Reis kills a pirate, who turns out to be Poseidon/ Antuan's brother. Antuan swears revenge and raids Oruc's older brother, Ishak's house, killing his pregnant wife and kids. Oruc, Hizir and Ilyaas rescue their older brothers but he is furious with Oruc. Oruc tries to tell him that his wife Despina is pregnant but he doesn't want to hear it. Later Ishak reconciles with his brother. An emir of the Mamluks Emir Karaby comes and is bent on defeating Oruc, even if it means uniting with their enemies. Oruc eventually kills him. Despina dies shortly after she miscarries her baby. Oruc falls in love with Isabel, a girl who has helped them a lot. Meanwhile, a girl called Meryem arrives, the adopted daughter of Dervish Baba who saved her from a slave trader. She later finds out she is the sister of Pietro, the commander of Kalimnos, and the enemy of Oruc and Hizir. This girl has a book, which is vital for both sides. They rescue that book a lot of times.

In this, Esma and Ilyaas are martyred by Don Diego and his lover, Rosa. Many of Oruc's levents get martyred too. Eventually, they lure Oruc in a trap and trecherously kill him.
