Description
The debut novel by British writer Susan Stokes-Chapman is the perfect blend of Georgian England and Greek mythology. An international bestseller; the publication rights were bought in 15 countries.
London, 1799. Dora Blake, an up-and-coming jewelry artist, lives with her tame magpie in an antique shop. Now the premises belong to her uncle and are in decline, but in the days of her parents the store was well known for its wide selection of genuine works of art. The appearance of a pyxis—an enigmatic ancient Greek vase—and the secrets it hides change the girl’s life: she sees a chance to reclaim the shop and escape her uncle’s oppression. But there are too many people interested in the pyxis: someone can use it to pave a way into an academic future, another can satisfy their pride, and a third can fully quench their thirst for money. What secrets does the ancient find hide—and what key could possibly open them?
