In the Expressionistic frame story, in which human lives are each represented by a candle, Death grants a woman three chances to save her lover, if love can triumph over death. The three stories within the story each occur in a setting that is nominally historic, but really in the realm of fantasy: an adventure tale with a Persian setting out of the Arabian Nights, a Renaissance Venetian romance, and a largely comic story set in China.

Gwendolyn est une lycéenne londonienne comme les autres. Lui apparaît bientôt un don lui permettant, pendant quelques instants, de voyager dans le temps. Ce qu'on appelle, communément, un « saut ». Mais c'est Gwendolyn qui développe cette aptitude ; mais, contrairement à Charlotte, elle n'a jamais pris de cours de « mystère », ni d’escrime et de danse, et elle se retrouve vite perdue lorsqu'elle doit rattraper Gideon de Villiers, un des 11 autres voyageurs dans le temps. Bientôt, elle va devoir rencontrer le comte de Saint-Germain, le fondateur de la secte secrète (douteuse) des voyageurs dans le temps. Mais le comte est-il vraiment celui que tout le monde respecte ?
