A man more dead than alive disembarks and staggers into Piazza San Marco. He brings a gift to Venice from Constantinople. Within days the city is infected with bubonic plague - and the Turkish Sultan has his revenge. In despair the Doge commissions the architect Andrea Palladio to build the greatest church of his career - an offering to God so magnificent that Venice will be saved. But Palladio's own life is in danger too and it will require all the skills of Annibale Cason the city's finest plague doctor to keep him alive. What Annibale has not counted on is the Turkish ship's other stowaway Feyra a beautiful young harem doctor who not only matches his medical skills but will also teach him how to care...
