About the book: 2013 / For the first time in Russian - a new novel from the author of the international bestseller "Blood of Flowers".

Jawahir also hides a dangerous secret: he was forced to serve in the harem by the thirst for revenge, and he must take revenge on the murderer and slanderer, whose victim Jawahir's father fell..
