Publisher's Synopsis
Paris, 1917. War chokes the city with dampness and fear, and the legendary dancer Mata Hari finds herself at the heart of a spy conspiracy. Her love for Francis-a soldier whose greatcoat is soaked with the blood of Ypres-becomes her light in the shadow of betrayal. But when he vanishes, and evidence points to her ties with the Germans, Mata Hari's world crumbles. Arrest, interrogations, trial-the Colonel's lies and Amar's cold steel tighten the noose around her. In the cell of Saint-Lazare, she dances her final dance, clinging to memories of Francis, until a bullet ends her life... or flings her across time.
Secrets of the past and future intertwine in this gripping tale of love, betrayal, and a curse. Cursed earrings from 2020 whisper of Incan gold, while the shadow of time toys with the fates of its heroes. Who betrayed her? Where lies the truth? Mata Hari vanishes in a flash of lightning, leaving Paris in turmoil. This novel is a journey through the trenches of war and the labyrinths of history, where every step is a choice between light and shadow.
