The "Secrets of the Institute for Noble Maidens" series continues—new mysteries, new secrets, and new dangerous trials for the young detective.
St. Petersburg, 1908.
Preparations are underway at the Golitsyn family estate for the princess's name day. But an innocent fortune-telling session in the midst of the festive evening turns into a dark omen—and its words begin to come true with alarming accuracy. Coincidence? Or has someone decided to turn the game into a prophecy?
For Varvara Vorontsova, a student at the Smolny Institute, there are no coincidences. She is certain that behind the mystical facade lies a cold and calculated plan. However, the ancient estate holds much more than family memories. Behind the ceremonial splendor of receptions lie financial intrigues and secrets that could destroy the reputation of the ancient family. The creaking of floorboards echoes through the dark corridors of the estate, and Varya increasingly feels like she's being watched.
Forced into a dangerous alliance with a brilliant aristocrat who could break her heart and a mysterious adventurer who hides other people's secrets, Varya begins an investigation that could cost her dearly. Because the prophecy has already come true.
And if she doesn't expose the culprit, she herself could be the next victim.
