Overview: An Israeli Agent. A Russian Heiress. A Secret That Could End Them All.
In Geneva, they steal things beautifully.
Anya Volkova has spent her life surrounded by beauty—curating priceless art for the world’s elite, moving through ballrooms where champagne flows and secrets are currency. She is the daughter of a Russian oligarch, the granddaughter of a woman who survived the Siege of Leningrad, and the last person anyone would suspect of being caught in a global conspiracy.
But when an ancient tablet vanishes during a private Geneva gala—stolen in just fourteen seconds—Anya becomes the prime suspect. The tablet is pre-Islamic, inscribed in a script so archaic that scholars argue over its meaning. Its owners have guarded it for fourteen centuries.
Now it’s gone.
And the only man who believes she’s innocent is a stranger with dark eyes and a darker past.
Eli Harari is not an art investor. He’s Israeli intelligence, sent to Geneva to investigate the murder of a diplomat in Vienna—a man whose last call was to Anya Volkova. Eli has spent his life reading rooms, assessing threats, and never trusting anyone. But Anya is different. She sees through his cover. She matches his moves. She might be the key to everything—or the most dangerous woman he’s ever met.
Together, they uncover a trail leading back decades: to Anya’s grandmother, who kept journals during the siege; to a shadow organization called the Assembly of the Serpent’s Heads; to a covenant written in sand and starlight that has shaped world events for two centuries.
The Assembly began with purpose: to prevent catastrophe, to maintain balance, to guard against the worst of human nature. But power corrupts. The covenant eroded. Now factions within the Assembly want to consolidate control—by any means necessary.
Anya and Eli are hunted across continents—from Geneva to London, from St. Petersburg to the Empty Quarter. They are pursued by assassins, betrayed by allies, and drawn into a romance that neither expected and neither can resist.
At the center of it all lies the firebird—an ancient symbol of truth that burns when lies are told. Anya’s grandmother wrote that the firebird sings when love speaks across enemy lines. But love is dangerous in a world built on secrets.
And the Assembly is not done with them yet.
