Synopsis

Aging ghul hunter Doctor Adoulla Makhslood wants nothing more than to retire to a quiet life of tea and poetry. But when a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes the great city of Dhamsawaat, he and his young dervish assistant must confront an ancient evil — even as political revolution threatens to tear the city apart.
