Victorian artist Radbourne Comstock, who moves in the circle of the Pre-Raphaelites and is acquainted with many English poets, such as Algernon Swinburne, meets a strange but endlessly attractive woman who becomes a real muse for him. But along with creativity, the supernatural powerfully invades his life, and his mind is gradually clouded by madness. In London in the 1990s, critic Daniel Rowlands, working on a book about the story of Tristan and Isolde, comes across the trail of priceless - and thought to be lost - paintings by Pre-Raphaelite artists, but the search leads him to an ancient and dangerous secret whose roots go back centuries. And the actor Valentine Comstock, a descendant of Radbourne, begins to be haunted by maddening visions, and the world around him is irreversibly changed. Thus begins a story that spans generations and continents, connecting the history of art and mythology, in which nothing is what it seems, and inspiration and love can turn into death.
