The Kurt en Shura series takes root in the romantic exploits of a man and a woman, which started in Russia and continued in Ukraine and across Turkey. The sheer amount of obstacles in the way of a couple's blossoming love was enough reason for them to give up, but they chose to deal with it with wisdom and more love. In addition, the series offers several lessons on social themes of vendetta, betrayal, and loyalty.

However, Shura does not trust how she feels even though she knows what she feels. Eventually, the lovers come to terms with what they feel for each other, and it is time to let their respective families know about their feelings, ushering in the second significant test in their love story. Kura's father wants him to marry a Turkish girl and is not happy about the son's choice of bride.
On the other hand, Shura's family believes that she will fare better if she marries someone from a noble family. The lovers now have their respective families to contend with, and they must come up with a non-confrontational means of making their people fall in line.
Kurt has respected his dad so much since he was a little boy; the man is the inspiration behind his decision to join the army. However, he is now caught between the devil and the deep red sea since he must choose between his love for Shura and the upholding of his immense regard for his father.
Kurt and Shura relocated to Istanbul, Turkey, after a political and ideological breakdown in Russia that made it risky to stay there. Some of Shura's family members also came along, and together, they dealt with hostilities in their country of refuge.
