Description
Seventeen years have I, Jaffar, served as Grand Vizier to the Sultan of Persia. Now the hour of my triumph is at hand. Already I sit on his throne, and soon I shall have his daughter as well – the Princess, whose beauty is like stars and the moon. Of course, I would never force myself upon this lovely creature. I shall give er a full hour to reach her own decision. She shall choose me of her own free will – or forfeit her life. And yet she clings to her fantasy of rescue. The object of her childish infatuation? A young adventurer – a nobody – who is now, on my orders, a prisoner in my dungeons. Even should he escape his cell and bypass my cunning traps and palace guards – he is still no match for the evil of my sorcery. Or is he?
