Salka, the faerie Lady of the Lake, can't help but appear to Owain, a shepherd who has already captured her heart. Despite their married bliss, Salka is not like the other inhabitants in this small village. Gossip turns against her and as prejudice and suspicion breed, Owain finds himself wishing his wife was more ordinary, that she tried harder to fit in, that she was less ... herself.

Duca della città di Carmona, Fosca viene al mondo nel 1279. Un vecchio mendicante, in cambio della vita, gli offre in dono l'elisir dell'immortalità.

I figli muoiono, gli amori si spengono, e così gli entusiasmi. Ogni cosa rivela il suo volto di sangue e distruzione, miseria, violenza, inutilità. L'unico principio assoluto dell'universo è lo spettacolo eterno della morte.
