Synopsis
Little Rob J. Cole’s life changes the day he becomes an orphan and discovers he has an unusual gift in his hands: he can predict death. Adopted as an apprentice by a barber surgeon, Rob travels around England discovering life, discipline and the curiosity to learn. At the age of nineteen, a Jewish doctor tells him about faraway Persia, where there is a medical school run by the best physician of the time: Avicenna.
Rob sets off on an adventure, ready to cross half the world to become a doctor. While traveling in a caravan through the desert he meets Mary, a Scottish girl who will remind him of his origins and will mark his plans for the future. Nothing will be easy for Rob in Isfahan, neither passing himself off as a Jew to be allowed to study nor his relationship with the Shah, who becomes infatuated with his friendship. He soon becomes an outstanding student of Avicenna, but a plague, war and a despot king will test Rob’s life. Only friendship, his vocation and love will push him to survive.
