Book 1 - The Meridian Oath(Slow Updates)

Years: 1938-1950

Description:
Eleanor Whitmore and her lifelong friend Margaret Fairbourne form The Meridian Circle, a secret organization dedicated to recovering art looted by the Nazis during World War II. Eleanor's marriage into the powerful Ramsford dynasty gives her access to wealth, influence, and hidden networks, which she uses to carefully document crimes and preserve coded journals and secret archives. Margaret complements her with courage and resourcefulness, navigating dangerous territories, retrieving stolen works, and maintaining the group's covert operations.

As Europe descends into war, Eleanor and Margaret face betrayal, shifting loyalties, and the constant threat of exposure. Friends sometimes prove untrustworthy, while unexpected allies emerge in unlikely places. Each recovered painting, sculpture, or manuscript is a victory against those who would erase history and culture. The Meridian Circle operates quietly but leaves an enduring impact, preserving priceless treasures and the truth about those who exploited the chaos of war.

Through intelligence, daring, and unwavering friendship, Eleanor and Margaret chart a course between power, danger, and morality. In a world where every choice carries risk, their work becomes a testament to courage, ingenuity, and the enduring belief that art, memory, and justice can survive even the darkest times.
