In ancient times, diamonds were called “tears of the gods.” Many famous stones have their own history, sometimes mysterious and bloody. The Eye of Lobengula, a huge flat diamond, a sacred relic of the Kaffirs, was taken by King Lobengula to Mozambique in 1893 and hidden in a cache. A hundred years later, the diamond was found, and the country plunged into the abyss of civil war. But as soon as the stone was stolen and taken away, the war stopped! And in Russia, where the Eye ended up, a series of brutal interethnic conflicts began. The dizzying adventures of a group of adventurers, by chance drawn into bloody events related to the history of the diamond, are told in the new exciting novel by Alexander Kosarev.
