Fantasy-Roman voller Schwerter, Magie, Vampirismus und Leidenschaft im Kontext einer alternativen Geschichte. In einem schneebedeckten Gasthaus hoch in den Alpen treffen sich vier Menschen, die die Schicksale der Welt verändern werden. Ein Söldner von edler byzantinischer Abstammung, eine junge Ärztin aus Florenz, ein uralter walisischer Zauberer und ein geheimnisvoller deutscher Artillerist, der Blut liebt und Tageslicht verabscheut. Gemeinsam begeben sie sich auf eine Reise voller Abenteuer und Dramatik, um den englischen Thron für Richard, den Herzog von Gloucester, zu sichern und ihn zum König Richard III. zu machen. In dieser alternativen Welt sehen die Geschichte Europas und die Machtverhältnisse völlig anders aus. Der Kontinent wird von der überwältigenden Macht des Byzantinischen Reiches bedroht, in dem es dem Kaiser Julian einst gelang, den Polytheismus aufrechtzuerhalten, sodass das Christentum und der Islam sich nicht in der ganzen Welt verbreiteten. Dekadente, intrigante Byzanz spinnt ihre Machtspiele, während in Mailand Herzog Sforza zum Vampir wurde und Florenz angriff.

John M. Ford's The Scholars of Night is an extraordinary novel of technological espionage and human betrayal, weaving past and present into a web of unbearable suspense. Nicholas Hansard is a brilliant historian at a small New England college. He specializes in Christopher Marlowe. But Hansard has a second, secret, career with The White Group, a “consulting agency” with shadowy government connections. There, he is a genius at teasing secrets out of documents old and new—to call him a code-breaker is an understatement. When Hansard’s work exposes one of his closest friends as a Russian agent, and the friend then dies mysteriously, the connections seem all too clear. Shaken, Hansard turns away from his secret work to lose himself in an ancient Marlowe manuscript. Surely, a lost 400 year old play is different enough from modern murder. He is very, very wrong.

Nei suoi drammi Ford mette in scena la tragedia del corpo che culmina in una morte agognata al pari dell'estremo piacere sessuale. Giovanni, il protagonista di Peccato che sia una puttana , seguace della filosofia neoplatonica dell'Uno, nella sua estenuante ricerca della bellezza assoluta si volge a un contesto che non ha nulla di sovrumano: il corpo fremente di Annabella, sua sorella. Si compie così il loro destino incestuoso. Giovanni è implacabile nel suo furore eroico: di fronte al pentimento della sorella, che gli si nega, la uccide e viola il suo corpo estirpandone il cuore. Quel cuore che è anche la tomba del suo cuore. Anche Giovanni soccomberà alla morte, non per punizione divina, bensì per opera del suo stesso destino.
