When Katherine Mackenzie receives a commission to catalogue the Ramsay oriental rug collection in the grand painter’s mansion, she hopes for a quiet, routine task. But the estate hides an unsettling secret: Roxelana, the exotic mistress and supposed heir of Ramsay’s fortunes, has been missing for seven years and is now slated for legal death.
Katherine’s curiosity is sparked when a portrait of Roxelana reveals a striking resemblance not only in appearance but also in the ring she wears—an heirloom she inherited from her own family. As she delves deeper into the mansion’s history and the Ramsay’s tangled relationships, the lines between cataloguing and investigation blur, pulling Katherine into a shadowy web of intrigue, greed, and hidden truths.
