Season Two
Tumanbay, the wealthiest city on earth, has been conquered by a brutal regime, the followers of the mysterious Maya. As refugees scramble to escape the city, Gregor, previously the Sultan’s spy-master, has sworn an oath to the new rulers, whilst his brother, a defiant General Qulan languishes in the dungeons. Responsible for rooting out heretics and non-believers is Maya’s Inquisitor, Barakat, a ruthless and uncompromising zealot. Cast & Crew
