King Yasuf issued a decree in which he obliged parents to send their daughters to a school where they would be taught the special skills of courtesans. They went through a strict selection process; everyone who had a bright appearance was trained; those who did not meet generally accepted standards remained in their families. When they reached a certain age, girls were used in political intrigues and given into the service of noble gentlemen. Liana, a poor girl from a small village, managed to hide from the eyes of the guard, but one day the king’s brother himself saw her. He couldn’t resist the girl’s beauty and decided to keep her for himself, but he was not ready for Lina’s furious protest. But Lina was not the only problem. Charon, a famous pirate and terror of the seas, arrived in the capital on a special visit, hundreds of ships entered the harbor, making the king nervous.
