In the heart of Angor-lana, Sultan Schamas ad Din narrowly escapes an assassin's bullet, marking the beginning of a perilous game of power and vengeance. With enemies both within the city and in the mountains, the Sultan turns to his trusted wazir, Amru, and the crafty darvish, Ismeddin, to outmaneuver his foes.
As rebels drum their intent of revolt, Schamas ad Din plots a cunning retribution against his treacherous nephew, Maksoud, with the aid of ancient and mystical forces hidden within the ruins of Atlânaat.
Will the Sultan's clever schemes bring justice, or will the dark magic of the Lord of the World claim them all?
