In a bookshop nestled in the sprawling streets of Lisbon, a shopkeeper leads a double life...

Looking for a new start after her father's death, Lara Hope arrives in Lisbon in search of a family she's never met.

As war storms across Europe, Lara finds solace and belonging in her landlady's tranquil bookshop in one of the most beautiful corners of the city.

But when she witnesses a customer secretly swapping a book, she realises the bookshop is not all it seems. Lara is plunged into a labyrinthine world of mystery and facades, encountering new friends, an unexpected romance, and even royalty... Is she prepared to risk it all for this new life?
