"The Lover in the Lake" was a suicide. Nightly, he rises, searching for the woman for whom he died. Lisa now walks the lake's shore each day, pining for her dead fiancé. At night, she dreams of wings beating against her bedroom window, of a faceless lover begging entrance. What happens when these two seekers of lost love meet?

Man has always feared death, even more so when plague takes so many. To a lonely ferry boatman, the cloaked knight seemed mad to wish to be taken into a land where sickness raged, but he agreed to guide him across the river. Only when the dark rider returns, does he realize what the "Shadow's Crossing" means to his own existence.
