And there were bitumens, resins, organic salts, to be protected from the least grain of dust; and metals, from iron to gold, metals whose current value altogether.

È il 1584 quando, orfana, Emily St. Aubert raggiunge la zia Madame Cheron: un rifugio che presto si rivela prigione. Il matrimonio di lei con il conte Montoni la trascina in un dedalo di torri aguzze, stanze invase dall'ombra e corridoi in cui ogni eco vibra come un presagio. Quando cala la notte, note lontane e sussurri intrappolati nelle mura guidano Emily fino a lettere ingiallite, dietro a tende consumate dal tempo. Il conte Montoni la fissa con gelida determinazione, desideroso di soffocare ogni barlume di speranza.
