The unspoken war of the Greeks against the Bulgarians for the defense of the Greek identity of Macedonia is vividly described in this novel - the last by Penelope Delta.

Focusing on the struggle for control of the marsh at Lake Yannitsa, this work, beyond its historical elements, beyond the scenes of passion and violence that it often depicts, nonetheless has as its backdrop stories of love and sacrifice, a characteristic element of all the author’s works.

Love is the driving force for the development of human capabilities. And sacrifice is the price of success.
