Cora Lombardi is ten years old and lives in 1577 Venice, Italy. A bout of the Bubonic plague ravages the city and hysteria is common in the streets. Anyone who shows even the slightest symptom is dragged off by the Plague Doctors to the island of Poveglia to die and then be burned.

While in the markets Cora sneezes, catching the attention of all those that surround her. Kidnapped from her home in the dead of the night when a doctor is informed she is taken to Poveglia, a place were death is a constant companion. 

She now fights for freedom as no further symptoms form and many of those around her die a slow and painful death. 

Will she escape and see her family again? Or will she be just another charred skeleton in the plague fields of Poveglia?
