A tax collector spends nights in an abandoned palace and feels the past rise—the rustle of silks, perfumed corridors, a queen’s fatal summons—until desire threatens to swallow him whole. Around this central haunting, other tales unfold of clerks, brides, fakirs, and fools, where love, pride, faith, and superstition collide, and the everyday opens onto wonder and dread.
