Until a benevolent Seljuk farmer, Mansur, offers him a second chance at happiness.
Yet despite his new life of pastoral harmony on Mansur's border farm, a hunger for revenge burns in Apion's soul. Then a fateful encounter draws him down a dark path that leads him right into the heart of a conflict that will echo through the ages...
