On the pages of the novel, the reader will meet again the charming, stubborn, and rather unhappy Marianne. Love stories, faithful friends, treacherous abductions, and black magic priests keep the reader from closing the book without reading the very last page.
In the fifth book of Ж. Бенцони’s historical-adventure novel series, Marianne meets the Sultan’s Valide in Mahmud II’s harem, tries to get rid of the future child, reveals the secrets of Prince Corrado, and gives birth to a son—along with much else.
