Inhaltsangabe:

It is June 1631. Catherine Cullen, a barber-surgeon and free woman of Dublin, visits Baltimore in south-west Ireland. During a raid she is taken prisoner by Algerian pirates and taken to North Africa. Her surgical skills gain her respect and the means to freedom.
This comes at a great price involving passion, death and betrayal. She falls in love with a Ragusan knight and their destinies seem intertwined, as his quest and her fate lead to Constantinople and vicious rival forces. Their story ends in Ragusa in 1667.
