The Gate of Spices — a wonderful portal connecting eight kingdoms. In each of them, only one spice is grown, but they cannot do without the others.

A young bearer named Amir dreams of breaking free from the cruel shackles and taking his family to a distant island.
In his attempts to carry out his audacious plan, he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that could change the fragile balance between the kingdoms forever...
