Er ist klug und liebenswert, und er entfaltet seine Talente in dem neuen Zuhause. Hier wird ihm ein Leben ermöglicht, von dem er nicht zu träumen gewagt hätte. Doch er weigert sich, einen Hinweis darauf zu geben, wer er wirklich ist. Als er zu einem jungen Mann heranwächst, verliebt er sich und besucht das berühmte Pariser Konservatorium. Die Schrecken seiner Vergangenheit kann er darüber beinahe vergessen, ebenso wie das Versprechen, das er einst geschworen hat, einzulösen. Aber Unheil ballt sich zusammen über Europa, und niemand ist mehr in Sicherheit. Tief in seinem Herzen weiß er, dass die Zeit kommen wird und er wieder fliehen muss. Ägäis, 2008. Alle sieben Schwestern sind an Bord der »Titan« zusammengekommen, um sich von ihrem geliebten Vater, der ihnen stets ein Rätsel blieb, zu verabschieden. Zur Überraschung aller ist es die verschwundene Schwester, die von Pa Salt damit betraut wurde, ihnen die Spur in ihre Vergangenheit aufzuzeigen. Aber für jede Wahrheit, die enthüllt wird, taucht eine neue Frage auf, und die Schwestern müssen erkennen, dass sie ihren Vater kaum gekannt haben. Noch schockierender aber ist, dass diese lang begrabenen Geheimnisse noch immer Auswirkungen auf ihrer aller Leben haben.
