From bestselling authors Janie Chang and Kate Quinn, a thrilling
and unforgettable narrative about the intertwined lives of two
wronged women, spanning from the chaos of the San Francisco
earthquake to the glittering palaces of Versailles. San Francisco,
1906. In a city bustling with newly minted millionaires and
scheming upstarts, two very different women hope to change their
fortunes: Gemma, a golden-haired, silver-voiced soprano whose
career desperately needs rekindling, and Suling, a petite and
resolute Chinatown embroideress who is determined to escape an
arranged marriage. Their paths cross when they are drawn into the
orbit of Henry Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose
extraordinary collection of Chinese antiques includes the fabled
Phoenix Crown, a legendary relic of Beijing's fallen Summer Palace.
His patronage offers Gemma and Suling the chance of a lifetime, but
their lives are thrown into turmoil when a devastating earthquake
rips San Francisco apart and Thornton disappears, leaving behind a
mystery reaching further than anyone could have imagined . . .
until the Phoenix Crown reappears five years later at a sumptuous
Paris costume ball, drawing Gemma and Suling together in one last
desperate quest for justice.
