    Will Clarissa and Nathan finally reveal the truth about these long-lost manuscripts? Will her search satisfy her quest for home she’s spent her whole life longing for? 
    Dig into the riveting historical details, page-turning suspense, and profound themes of identity and the desire to belong in this dual timeline mystery inspired by the real-life theft of medieval manuscript illuminations during World War II. Perfect for fans of Charlie Lovette, Geraldine Brooks and Umberto Eco.
