BAKU 1901. A bank robbery. A mysterious amulet. Two women’s fight for survival.

BAKU 1901. A daring bank robbery and the suicide of the Imperial Bank manager has mystified the city of Baku. Political activists are blamed. Klara, wife of oil baron Anton Sabroski, is drawn into a conspiracy when a tragic incident puts her husband’s life in danger.

Miranda, childless and vilified, forges a new life for herself by volunteering at the hospital, where she is faced with life-changing choices.

When Klara discovers that a mysterious amulet from the bank’s stolen cargo holds the key to the truth, the two women join forces to save Anton, but in doing so must confront the most terrifying man in town—the Governor of Baku’s chilling astrologer, Imar Necrolanus.
