Smryna 1887. Katina is a clever and ruthless woman from Smyrna. In the poor neighborhoods where she lives, she meets Attarti, a Turkish woman who introduces her to magic.
No obstacle can stop a witch now, and Katina sets out to rise high. Love potions, bougioum, liquors, and magical spells prove to be infallible... She manages to attract four men, each one better than the last, each one richer than the previous.
As she ascends higher in the social hierarchy, Katina gets involved in their businesses and adeptly manages trade, banks, and tobacco, eventually finding herself in a position to even rule Smyrna itself.
Her writings, spells, and magical artifacts were found in a dusty little chest, 100 years later, in her house in Aegina.
