"Wait a moment! I have bribed a local physician that can be trusted to tend our ill discretely. He has seen to others that are only sickened and not dying. All that remain may be saved with half a chance."

At last, Marcus put his quill away and glanced up from his work with a long, laden sigh. "We have had news from Venice, Recensio. And beyond Venice, news of the world. A frightful sickness plagues the earth. It has followed us from the east, a secret devil."
