Publisher's Summary

''A beautifully portrayed work of fiction! Evocative and thought-provoking. Highly recommended!" (Oggi Tomic, BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker and director) 

As the Bulgarian struggle for freedom from the crumbling Ottoman Empire reaches its climax, a young soldier named Serafim receives some mystical prayer beads from his father figure. He is entrusted with the task of searching for a special craftsman to engrave them, while ensuring their continued safekeeping. The mythical Broenitsa, which are imbued with the power of Bulgaria's glorious past, are coveted by many and protected by few. 

As the fate of the beads shifts to present day, three Englishmen become unwitting guardians of the sacred artifact. The recipients are out of their depths but take it all in their stride as they encounter the Bulgarian mafia, an idiot freedom fighter named Lucho, whirling dervishes, and a whole host of beguiling characters on a journey into the unknown. 

Indiana Jones meets Trainspotting meets something quite different.
