This is a novel which draws on the magic of A Thousand and One Nights and the realism of history and political life.

Involving suspense, love, poetry, conspiracies, war-Assassins is, above all, the story of a powerful love relationship that triumphs over all adversities. In an inventive style . . . Nikos Kyriazis artistically transmutes historical materials into fiction of great literary and emotional impact. -Kostas Sardelis
