A fearless fortune teller in 1920s Paris must use her powers to divine who she can trust – and even more importantly, learn to trust herself – in the searing new gothic novel from the author of The Haunting of Moscow House.
Spirited twenty-something Zina and her secretive grandmother, Baba Valya, own a tearoom on Rue Daru in Paris, where they have lived quietly since Zina’s mother’s untimely death. By day, the women serve tea, mostly to members of the bustling Russian emigre community. But when dusk falls, they divine fortunes and perform seances for their loyal clientele.
Then the charming Princess Olga and her brother arrive, searching for answers about the disappearance of their father, the Grand Duke and cousin to the murdered last Tsar of Russia. Zina, eager to learn more about the spirit world and her powers, performs the seance. She is able to summon the Grand Duke, but to her horror, he starts to haunt the shop, and he seems to know something sinister about her mother’s death.
As Zina delves into her family’s hidden past, dark secrets are unearthed, threatening Zina and her grandmother’s found family, home, and tearoom, not to mention their very lives.
