Dieser Roman führt uns ins Italien des 14. Jahrhunderts, auf eine kleine Insel in der Lagune von Venedig. Wir erleben eine Welt, die geprägt ist von Liebe und Tod, Magie und Aberglauben. In die auf den ersten Blick friedliche Dorfidylle bricht jäh das Unheil herein: Ein Leichnam, von schwarzen Beulen übersäht, wird ans Ufer gespült und begraben. Noch ahnen die Bewohner nicht, daß der Tote der Pest zum Opfer gefallen ist.
