Malta, 16th century. A boy named Niko is kidnapped by slave traders and taken to North Africa.
His sister, Maria, has two dreams. The first is to escape the island, where no one lifted a finger to save her brother. However, her second dream seems even more difficult to fulfill: in a society where only the sons of nobles are allowed to attend school, a girl from a common family wants to learn to read.
And in Paris, Count Christian de Vries grows up. Accepted into the Order of Hospitallers from birth, his heart is set on medicine...
A few years later, all three will play a role in the Great Siege of Malta, when civilizations clash on this tiny island and the fate of Europe is decided. From the slave markets of Algiers and the Sultan's seraglio in Istanbul to the bustling embankments of Paris and the knight's fort in Malta: "The Sword and the Scimitar" is one of the best adventure sagas, a novel about the eternal struggle between the religions and cultures of the East and the West.
