The magistrate of the Knights of the Order of Saint John, who are occupying the island, is called upon to solve the mystery of the mass murder of the peasants whose bodies bear the marks of a large animal's nails. The sole survivor on the scene of the crime is a little boy, Andronicus Honiatis, who is unable to provide a clear witness of the murderer or murderers. A few years later, when it becomes known that the hands of the now young man, Andronicus, have healing powers, a ruthless chase to kidnap him begins. And as the medieval story of the knights of the island of Rhodes unfolds, so does another story. This one is far darker and more odious with its unpredictable twists and turns when into Andronicus's life enters Louise d'Anjou, to whom his pursuer, who is eventually in some way to be connected not only to the murder of the peasantry but also to that of Andronicus's parents, is also fatally attracted. What follows in the narrative is beyond the bounds of human imagination, which is tested to the limit when the lives of our protagonists are invaded by the supernatural and it dawns on them that what their future holds is uncertain.
