Set in medieval Italy, the story revolves around Isabella, who secretly loves Lorenzo, a man of lower status. Their romance is tragically disrupted when her brothers, fueled by jealousy, murder Lorenzo and hide his body. Heartbroken, Isabella discovers his remains and places his severed head in a pot of basil, which symbolizes her enduring love. The narrative delves into themes of forbidden love, betrayal, and profound grief, all crafted with Bernard Capes' rich, atmospheric prose that evokes a haunting Gothic ambiance.
