In 'O Reino do Meio,' war breaks out in Spain, and Japan invades China. An extramarital affair in the Azores, the attack against Salazar, and palace intrigues in Tokyo bring Colonel Artur Teixeira closer to Consul Satake Fukui in the unpredictable and dangerous Berlin of Adolf Hitler. Lian-hua, a blue-eyed Chinese woman, is promised to a stranger when she sees the Japanese enter Beijing, turning her life into hell. Nadezhda Skuratova, a Russian in Shanghai, also witnesses this spectacle and falls in love with a Portuguese man who will force her to make an impossible decision. This book is the conclusion of the Lotus Trilogy.
