- Description
- Dirzhan is a strange little country up among the mountains way out east. It has one foot in the middle ages and one in the age of the internet, and its President Kahn is a ruthless modern dictator who lives in a fantastic old palace riddled with secret passages. Only the old eunuch who looks after the Kahn's daughter Taeela knows where they can run. Nigel is on a visit to his parents when he is asked to spend time with Taeela to improve her English accent, so he is actually present when the Kahn is assasintated in from of their eyes. Now those haunted passages come into their own, allowing them to escape from the palace and make their way through a country in turmoil, find allies up in the mountains and return to the palace by the way they came with a band of followers, so that Taeela can avenge her fathers death.
