1816-1829. Patras, Tripolitsa, Nafplio, Mesolonghi…
After Angelis found himself imprisoned in the henhouse of Sahin Aga, hatred settled in his soul like a venomous snake.
During his explosive and simultaneously captivating journey, he comes under the service of a cantankerous and stingy merchant, who sells you firewood as if it were candlelight. He is enveloped by the leaden cloud of slavery and the humiliation of the rayah. He unites with Kerasia, where in her face, dreams dive and swim. He encounters local notables, colliers, and comrades-in-arms, who are more than brothers and wives in the heat of battle, while a terrified Turkish boy clings to him.
On his path are two elders, who dissect the motivation for everything as well as the sweet and poisonous essence of the "self," the seductive Aspasia, diabolical foreigners, local adventurers, the thirty-six years silent Simeon, a horseman who saves captive Turkish girls, and the greatest enemy of the free man, fear.
Angelis experiences the grandeur and the dark side of the blood-soaked '21, dismantling myths and revealing buried truths. He embraces the fire of the uprising, transforming savagery into hope, redemption, and sweetness, and shouts loudly: “I want to be no one's rayah. A rayah to nothing!”
