The protagonist of the novel, Nanidat Maniakh, is a virtuoso silk trader, a brilliant young man from the finest family in Samarkand, who several years ago refused to take up arms and engage in the "family business" of espionage. The war against the conquerors of his homeland is over for him forever. But assassins attempt on the life of this peaceful silk merchant, and, to his own astonishment, he transforms into a super-spy and general of the victorious army, becoming a favorite of the new dynasty of caliphs who dream of building a new and magnificent city — one that will be called Baghdad.

Until the final pages, the fate of the novel's main heroine — a mysterious woman with golden hair — remains a secret...

The characters of the novel are masterfully woven into the turbulent history of wars, conspiracies, and battles of the 8th century, when the world's major civilizations took shape.
