Petersburg-the once-glittering capital of Peter the Great’s Russia-Nicola and Rob unearth a tale of love and sacrifice, of courage and redemption…an old story that seems personal and small, perhaps, against the greater backdrops of the Jacobite and Russian courts, but one that will forever change their lives. With Rob to help her “see” the past, she follows a young girl named Anna from Scotland to Belgium and on into Russia. Kearsley raises the bar book to book, and this is one of her most ambitious and successful ever. But Nicola’s held it, and she knows the woman is telling the truth, and is in desperate need of the money the sale of the heirloom could bring.Ĭompelled to help, Nicola turns to a man she once left, and still loves: Rob McMorran, whose own psychic gifts are far greater than hers. Sebastian believes that the plain carving-known as “The Firebird”-is worthless. It’s never been a gift she wants, and she keeps it a secret from most people, including her practical boss Sebastian, one of London’s premier dealers in Russian art.īut when a woman offers Sebastian a small wooden carving for sale, claiming it belonged to Russia’s Empress Catherine, it’s a problem. The story flits between present day with Nicola Marter and Rob, two psychics with an interlinked history, who chase down a wooden carving called the Firebird on. When she touches an object, she sometimes sees images glimpses of those who have owned it before.
