On a quiet autumn evening in September 1905, in the ancient city of Smyrna, a girl is born, who will be named Shaherazade. The contractions in labor were so strong and painful that even opium did not ease her suffering.
On the same day, a ship anchors in the local harbor, aboard which an Indian spy arrives on a secret mission for the British Empire. Avinash Pillai sees the golden spires and minarets, smells the scents of figs and chinar trees, hears the shouts of street hawkers offering their wares. Seventeen years later, he will leave the city engulfed in flames, breathing in the heavy odor of kerosene and cinders. And in between those Septembers, many events will take place involving the intertwining fates of Arab, Greek, Turkish and Armenian families. Births and deaths, loves and losses - all this awaits the heroes when their peaceful homeland is destroyed by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
