A stained glass painter, a Greek archaeologist and a teacher raised in Balta Brailei tell their stories in turn, each one scattering small clues at every step that make the reader look for, from the very beginning, the connection between them.
The author takes us through places with magical historical charge - the old cathedral of Chartres, next to which is one of the oldest stained glass workshops in the world, the shores of the Aegean Sea, in the depths of which a Roman mosaic is discovered, or the island of Rhodes, on which the ruins of the temples of the ancient gods can still be seen.
But what truly gives mystery to the whole story are its women, with whom everything begins and ends - the beautiful, desired and intangible keys to the book, the shadowy engines of the narrative
