An abuser Felix believes himself free of, until a return to his former master's lair leads to his harrowing fall from grace.

La baronessa Melusine von der Schulenburg è giovane, indipendente e ribelle: refrattaria a ogni obbligo, pretende di avere gli stessi diritti dei maschi, vuole studiare, rifiuta sia di prendere marito che di farsi monaca, e sostiene di riuscire a parlare con i morti.
