In 1721, Isfahan shines while threats accumulate. The apothecary Jean-Baptiste Poncet, settled there with his family, has his peace disturbed by a stranger and sets off in search of a friend across the Caucasus, the Urals and the khanates of Central Asia. Meanwhile, the city, besieged by the Afghans, resists with Alix and Saba involved in its defence.

It is suitable for readers of historical and adventure novels set in eighteenth-century Persia.
