When, in 2002, the novelistic biography The Witches of Smyrna was released, no one could have imagined the incredible success that would follow. Masterfully delivered by the imaginative, vivid pen of Mara Meimaridi, the life of Katina Karamanou became a huge commercial success, a television series, a theatrical performance, and its fame was never surpassed! Her story begins in Smyrna and the small handmade cosmetics shop she opened with her mother, passes through the teaching of the art of magic, is exalted in the most cosmopolitan salons of the city, and concludes, in the book, with the arrival of Katina and her family in Greece, three months before the Catastrophe, which she herself had predicted.

Today, almost 20 years later, Mara Meimaridi presents the continuation of Katina Karamanou's story, in her new book that is set to achieve another great success! The author continues with her unique style the captivating narrative, following Katina in a magical labyrinth that connects the pistachio plantations with a charming young Corfiot prospective husband, the witch Valide with the Kaiser and the espionage of the Great War. A true story full of magic!
