The book opens at sunset in Constantinople early in the century, over domes, bazaars and latticed streets heavy with intrigue, before the story moves on to Sir Iltyd and his circle. A man’s love for a woman named Weir is shadowed by recurring nightmares, and the novel passes through its parts, ‘The Melody’ and ‘The Discord’, toward the secret that links present passion to an older story.
