In a crumbling empire, a brilliant physician crosses paths with a condemned general - a man slowly dying from poison and sins alike. One seeks to heal the body, the other refuses to save his soul. But as wounds are stitched and silences unravel, truth seeps through - and the cure may prove more cruel than the illness. A journey through the ruins of a world, where medicine becomes a prayer, and love, a sentence. la version française de ce livre est également disponible
