Publisher's description:

Hav is a magical place - yet behind its arcane splendours are darker implications. Every street corner is haunted by memories of illustrious visitors - Freud, Diaghilev, Marco Polo, Lawrence of Arabia and countless others. But the author's visit ends in flight when an unidentified enemy arrives to seize control.
