The fabulous East... It has long been bringing vague dreams of an earthly paradise to the people of the West and calling them in pursuit of a sacred dream. So the young knight Rainier finds himself in the promised lands and saves the girl there. From this day on, their life turns into a kaleidoscope of dangerous adventures in a world seething with passions, where some people seek perfect love, others fight for fame, power and gold, and others sacrifice themselves in the name of faith. The reader will visit Constantinople, Damascus, Baghdad, Venice, Toulouse, London, Seville, Rome and Cairo, touch Eastern wisdom, marvel at prophetic dreams and mysterious prophecies. And perhaps he will agree with Hafiz’s opinion that the life of every mortal is like an unsuccessful matchmaking to eternity.
