Esta fascinante novela describe la pasión de un hombre del siglo XI por vencer la enfermedad y la muerte, aliviar el dolor de sus semejantes e impartir el don casi místico de sanar que le ha sido otorgado. Esa pasión le llevará desde la brutalidad y la ignorancia de la Inglaterra de su época a la sensual turbulencia y el esplendor de la remota Persia, donde conocerá al legendario maestro Avicena, que está experimentando con las primeras armas de la medicina moderna
