Paris, 1963. Behind Severine Kassel's carefully crafted image as the Louvre's most respected jewellery curator lies a woman haunted by unspeakable trauma. When she's invited to London to authenticate a collection of rare Byzantine pearls, her composed facade finally cracks. These are not just any pearls – they belong to her family, stolen in an act of unimaginable cruelty two decades earlier. Her shocking revelation sets off a frenzied hunt for former Nazi officer Ruda Mayek. As Severine follows Mayek's trail, the tightly controlled life she's built around herself is shattered. Will her own carefully guarded secrets be revealed? From the snow-laden forests outside Prague to the elegant galleries of Paris and the windswept moors of Yorkshire, Severine must confront both the horrors of her past and the price of vengeance. But in a web of lies and betrayal spanning two decades, some truths are better left buried.
