Der Greif hat sie gefunden! Lange hatten sich Arthur und seine Frau Martha nach dem Krieg in ihrem beschaulichen Kleinstadtidyll in Sicherheit gewähnt. Doch als sie ihrem Sohn Karl zum 16. Geburtstag die geheimnisvolle Chronik schenken, tauchen die Kreaturen des grausamen Herrschers auf und entführen Martha in den Schwarzen Turm. Verzweifelt folgt Arthur ihnen in die Parallelwelt und erreicht erneut Martens Hof. Aus dem Gehöft ist inzwischen eine befestigte Stadt geworden, in der sich rasend schnell die Kunde verbreitet.

Ein Bombenangriff legt Bingen in Schutt und Asche. Im letzten Augenblick können Arthur und Martha, die sich seit einem halben Jahr auf dem Dachboden in Arthurs Elternhaus verstecken, vor der SS fliehen. Zusammen mit der jüdischen Familie Diestelzweig tauchen sie in der Parallelwelt des Schwarzen Turms unter. Hier sind seit Arthurs letztem Besuch unglaublicherweise achtzig Jahre vergangen. Längst bewohnt nicht mehr Marthas Familie Martens Hof, und man gewährt ihnen nur widerwillig Unterschlupf.

Arthur starrt in die Pistolenmündung. Sekunden, bevor ihn die tödliche Kugel trifft, öffnet sich ihm ein geheimer Gang. Verwundert kann er fliehen und gelangt über eine abstruse Himmelstreppe in den Schwarzen Turm. Doch in der fantastischen Parallelwelt lauern unberechenbare Gefahren. Gejagt von den Häschern des grausamen Greifen, rettet Arthur sich auf Martens Hof. Paradiesischer Frieden herrscht hier, und am liebsten würde Arthur für immer bleiben, zusammen mit der hübschen Bauerntochter Martha.
