Timofey Cherny, the Russian master of war machines, who joined the crusaders during the First Crusade, continues his adventures. In the summer of 1123, a caravan of pilgrims arrived in Tiberias. During the journey, Zinaida the dancer predicted as many as eight misfortunes for them, including two deaths. The first victim becomes the “predictor” herself. Master Timofey and his knight friends set out to find the murderer. They will face underground passages, encounters with fire-worshippers, maps and precious jewels, chases, and secret ill-wishers. And of course, the crime will be solved!
