What price is too high for survival? Petrograd, 1917. Eighteen-year-old Valentina Kalinina's life of aristocratic privilege is shattered in an instant when Bolshevik rebels storm her home. 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. Stranded in a foreign country with no money or support, salvation arrives in the form of a charming cousin, Dmitri, who offers her sanctuary in his Belgravia mansion.

When archaeologist Quinn Allenby discovers a skeleton sealed behind a wardrobe in a London house, she expects another routine investigation.

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... Fans of Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Erskine, and Susanna Kearsley will devour this gripping story of survival, betrayal, and the dangerous lengths we go to protect those we love.
