Dark Tracks

In 1461 the travellers enter an Austrian village gripped by a dancing mania. Men and women appear unable to stop moving, and fear of demonic possession spreads as exhaustion and death follow.

Luca searches for a rational cause while Isolde and Ishraq face direct danger from the contagion and from men claiming to offer rescue. The investigation connects communal panic to organised hatred and asks whether the greater threat comes from superstition or deliberate violence.
