When Awaad discovered a mysteriously hidden treasure at a palace in Cairo, he immediately sent for his trusted friend, Mahroos, to assist in looting it. On arrival, Mahroos found himself involved with beautiful Seaham, his hostess, and also with stunning Carole who was incidentally visiting the city. Despite a few distractions, Awaad and Mahroos resolutely planned to complete their challenging mission. Surprisingly, while in the process of pillaging the treasure, the palace they were robbing became under attack by Ottoman soldiers. To their horror, they also realized that a gruesome massacre of hundreds of Mamelukes was taking place at the nearby Citadel. Massacre at the Citadel is a fiction that embraces the legend of the one Mameluke who, many still believe to this day, had managed to escape the gruesome carnage. The narrative includes other events, adventures and a visit to Cairo of that time.
