Whether she is a witch or not, whether a dragon exists or not - these are the questions that Nanidat Maniakh, the legendary warrior, spy and healer, had to worry about... And then - war, conspiracy, victory and loneliness, from which an intelligent and understanding woman will try to save him. The hero of the novel, Nanidat Maniahu, is still far from the events that take place in “The Favorite Monkey of the House of Tang,” and just as far from Constantinople to his beloved Celestial Empire. But if a person’s home is the whole world, then anywhere in this world he will find battles and victories, joy and sadness.
