When Emma sees the antique it sticks out to her, it was far different than anything else in the store of old relics. It looked newer, and yet at the same time it seemed as if it far outdated anything else in the store buy centuries. The shopkeeper offers a deal-the artifact is hers for free if only she promised to keep it safe. Curious, Emma agrees to the shopkeepers demands and brings it home with her, but what happens when another interested party shows up at her doorstep? And using her father's name, which had gone unspoken for many years. Not since he'd disappeared.
