A sweeping historical novel set in Russia and England in the 1870s. Lousie Defour's life is idyllic. The love-child of a British diplomat and Russian dancer, she wants for nothing. But when her parents are killed by a bomb, she finds herself penniless and alone, and must travel to England to meet a half-sister who did not even know of her existence. There, she becomes part of the world of Daniel and Christine Hunter (first introduced in Constance Heaven's previous book, LOVE'S SHADOW) - with a potentially destructive effect.

Lose yourself in this beautifully written, emotional and enthralling novel from much loved author Constance Heaven. It conjures up the glittering society and changing times of the 1870s in London and Russia so wonderfully, you'll feel as if you are there yourself!
