Marcus Sedgwick entführt uns auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit durch sieben Zeitalter, und immer wieder treffen wir in jeder Epoche auf Eric und Merle, doch mal sehen wir sie als Mutter und Sohn, mal als alter Mann und Kind, dann als Geschwister, und schliesslich begegnen wir ihnen wieder als Paar. Was verbindet diese zwei Menschen über den Tod hinaus? Was führt sie in jedem neuen Leben, in jedem neuen Zeitalter wieder zusammen?
