Londra, 1021. Rob Cole ha solo nove anni quando si accorge di 'sentire' l'istante in cui la vita abbandona il corpo. E' la scoperta di una vocazione travolgente: diventare medico. All'Università di Ispanhan diviene l'allievo prediletto e l'assistente di Avicenna, il principe dei medici. L'arte di Rob Cole non ha rivali: la sua vita sarà una lotta contro la sofferenza e la morte.
