The opulent Cairo estate of Zsa-zsa Korda shimmered under the relentless desert sun, a stark contrast to the humble convent walls soon to inherit it all. Korda, a titan of industry, announces his peculiar decision, much to the dismay of his scheming rivals. Enter Sister Liesl, a woman of God, now thrust into a world of cutthroat tycoons and shadowy figures. Among those displeased is Prince Farouk, a foreign dignitary with vested interests, and the calculating Leland, a known associate of Korda with secrets of his own. As Korda unveils his newest, audacious enterprise, a daring venture into the heart of unexplored territories, a web of assassins, including the ruthless Excalibur, begins to converge. Will Sister Liesl navigate this treacherous landscape, or will the Phoenician Scheme crumble under the weight of its enemies?
