Paris, 1928. Ein Junge wird gerade noch rechtzeitig entdeckt, bevor er stirbt, und von einer Familie aufgenommen. Er ist klug und liebenswert, und er entfaltet seine Talente in dem neuen Zuhause. Hier wird ihm ein Leben ermöglicht, von dem er nicht zu träumen gewagt hätte. Doch er weigert sich, einen Hinweis darauf zu geben, wer er wirklich ist. Als er zu einem jungen Mann heranwächst, verliebt er sich und besucht das berühmte Pariser Konservatorium. Die Schrecken seiner Vergangenheit kann er darüber beinahe vergessen, ebenso wie das Versprechen, das er einst versprochen hat, einzulösen.

In a brutal dystopian waterworld, where survival depends on skill and smarts, I'm pretty much always one bad decision away from watching my life go completely down the drain. Luckily, I have a lifeline: my cute, level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Did I say cute? I didn't mean cute. He's just a friend. I definitely don't have weird sex dreams about him.

It is the 14th century, and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur - the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if the plague had killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been - a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation.
