Set in 16th-century France and Italy, the novel follows the virtuous and imaginative Emily St. Aubert, who, after the death of her beloved father, is placed under the care of her cruel and manipulative aunt.

Surrounded by secrecy and shadows, Emily must navigate loss, betrayal, and hidden threats as she clings to hope-and to love.
