In 14th-century Europe, the Black Death wreaks havoc. Pope Clement VI, concerned about the pandemic, convenes a council of physicians to find a solution. Ahmed, a Cordoban Arab, Moses, a Catalan Jew, and Doménico Tornaquinci, a Florentine Catholic, are chosen to investigate a possible remedy that is succeeding in a town in Spain. However, their journey is complicated when they are attacked by unknown forces seeking to sabotage their mission and perpetuate the devastation of the plague. Will the protagonists manage to discover the remedy in time? Who is behind the attacks and why do they want the Black Death to continue ravaging Europe? In this novel, Luis Miguel Guerra raises current issues such as the clash of civilizations, religious fanaticism, the hidden interests of rulers, and the struggle between science and superstition.
