Her father is murdered before her eyes, her beloved fiancé Alexei falls to a revolutionary’s bayonet, and Valentina barely escapes to England with her life.

Valentina believes her nightmare is over, until she realizes that Dmitri’s generosity comes at a horrifying price…
Present day. When archaeologist Quinn Allenby discovers a skeleton sealed behind a wardrobe in a London house, she expects another routine investigation. But the moment she touches a delicate Fabergé necklace, Quinn is thrust into Valentina’s world of revolution and betrayal. As Quinn pieces together the Russian girl’s desperate story while juggling new motherhood, she realizes that exposing the truth about the mysterious skeleton will have devastating consequences for her own future…
