The Empty Cage

In 1333, in Saray—the capital of the Uzbeg khanate—different trade routes and political interests from all corners of the world converge. Here meet the Genoese, the Venetians, papal envoys, Muslim Sufis, and other adventurers who take part in intrigues and strike deals. Stakes are extremely high, and life here is often a game.

When the night watch stops a wagon on the street, they find the body of a murdered foreigner inside. The assistant of the Saray emir takes charge of the investigation.
