But it is he who holds the diamonds that the young Artémis Delambre must recover. She intends to use the charms she learned in Mehemet Ali's harem to seduce him and steal the jewels. At the same time, the governor of Egypt and his army, as well as the troops of the Royal Navy guided by Agent Fitzpatrick, are heading towards Siwa. The final confrontation approaches, each side prepares its weapons... Under the pen of Marc Bourgne and the brush of Franck Bonnet, the oriental cycle of this series of pirates as we like them ends in apotheosis!
