Everyone believes that after the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's treasures had been found near the battlefield and sent to their rightful owners. Is it what really happened?

A few years passed; one of his trusted ex-soldiers, Colonel of the Uhlans, is overseeing soldiers' preparation for the Tsar's victorious parade in Warsaw when a mysterious person delivers a letter from the exiled Emperor. Colonel's hero has reached out to him once more and is calling him to the service for the final time. His last orders are awaiting on St. Helen.

Jean-Paul travels to France, where he conspires to sail to St. Helena to meet Napoleon and receive last orders. He is mercilessly hunted down by victorious Duke Wellington. The novel follows their cloak-and-dagger activities in France, Germany, and Poland until the untimely death of Jean-Paul, which leaves the legend of Napoleon's treasure unsolved.

Until now...

David King is a middle-aged historian from Poland who is an owner of a small foundation based in Warsaw's Old Town, specialising in the restoration of historical artefacts, securing museums' exhibitions, and finding lost or stolen artwork. One day, David received an invitation to an anniversary meeting of the Napoleonic Society in London. He does not expect that this seemingly innocent invitation will drag him into a century-long game of cat and mouse between the descendants of the Battle of Waterloo.

The search for the most important artefacts starts again with new force, taking the reader for a wild ride through Netherland's historical coastline and the story of the Dutch East India Company, some beautiful French and Polish palaces, the magnificent Montmartre cemetery, as well as secret dark cellars and criminal hideouts.

Finally, after a century of silence, the question about Napoleon's treasure will find its answer.
