Smyrna, 1922. A group of friends who work, create, dream, and fall in love in a festive and cosmopolitan atmosphere, without paying attention to the dark clouds that have begun to gather over the city. Markos and Sylvia, Nikolas and Margarita, Panagiotis and Isabella live their romances and plan to start their new lives - but just before they succeed, History catches up with them. Passing through the furnace of destruction and persecution, Markos will eventually manage to rebuild his life in Athens, until an unexpected encounter reminds him of the fairy-tale days of Smyrna.

A historical novel about the games History plays with human fate and the power of true love, about what we are forced to leave behind and what we are lucky enough to find again.
