'I think that you can convince yourself of anything, that nothing is real.' So says Silas, who brings his secrets, scars and troubled memories to the healer Daniel, in the hope of a cure. But the path to cure means revisiting the source of the poison, and Silas' disease is a tangle of paradoxes. For at its heart is the memory of a garden, surreal, luminous, bursting with nature and yet strangely unnatural, and a girl, blind as the night yet with a disturbing vision. And, as treatment progresses and healer and patient find more in common than they expected, Daniel begins to weed out the truth from Silas' narrative, and discovers a story where love, death and an unusual betrayal are entwined.
