Description
Deborah has many talents. She can dance, name all the grapes in a glass of wine, and control fire with a flick of her hand. The only thing she can’t do is decode the book that killed her parents.
Until she meets Marek, a historian obsessed with all things dark and secret. With his help, she begins to unravel the mystery about her parents: who they really were, and what they died for. But the chemistry between them threatens Deborah’s friendship with Irena Suková – the enigmatic writer who has given her refuge in a lush Prague villa.
In her search for answers, Deborah becomes entangled in a dangerous feud where the lines between love and betrayal, justice and revenge, blur into a twisted tango.
And when she learns that her parents sacrificed everything to uncover the truth, she realises that there are greater dangers at hand: she must protect herself from the same forces that destroyed her family.
