Since the times of Marco Polo, people whispered in fear the name of the “telesmat”, the illusory black magic that captures the fools who dare enter the endless sandy realm of the Taklamakan. A great Swedish explorer, Sven Hedin, barely managed to escape death among the desert's arid dunes and, according to a dark legend, he met a terrible and powerful creature there... A camel-mounted Uighur expedition, joined by Harlan, Tesla, Kurjak and Matthew Shady, ventures inside the dangerous desert to search for a mysterious lost city whose whereabouts weren't revealed by Hedin in his books. But two powerful criminal syndicates are on their tracks: the “Blue Wolves” and the “Blue Dragon Triad”. They all hope to find, under the sand, Draka and his “hidden kingdom”. Having guessed his projects, Harlan wants to kill his father... And Martin De Vere aims to give Draka's hidden power on the world back to his new and enigmatic patron...
