Pearl is a siren's song in the shape of a stone, sending people to distances they never dreamed of traveling. 1886 Western Australia. The Brightwell family, having sailed from England, are settling into their new home in Australia. Ten-year-old Eliza knows little of what awaits them on these shores, where pearl shells are sometimes the size of soup plates and where exotic beauty hides danger everywhere. Their father promised that it would be the pearls that would secure their fortune. Ten years later, Charles Brightwell, now the Bay Area's most successful pearl hunter, disappears from his ship on the high seas. Rumors of mutiny and murder spread through the town. Stubborn Eliza refuses to believe that her extraordinary father is dead and is eager to find out what really happened to him. As Eliza searches for the truth, she discovers that behind the beautiful facade of the pearl mining industry lies many dark and dirty secrets. Eliza soon learns that the truth may be worth more than pearls, and she must decide how much she is willing to pay and how many dangers to overcome to find it...
