When Gabriel and Julia Emerson first lay eyes on their newborn daughter, Clare, they realize life as they know it will never be the same. Gabriel has vowed to be a good father when he suddenly receives an invitation to give a series of lectures in Edinburgh, Scotland--an opportunity of high prestige—but that would mean leaving his wife and child in Boston. Hesitant to bring it up, he keeps the opportunity from Julia as long as he can, not knowing she has a secret of her own.
When a frightening situation arises that threatens their new family, both parents must make sacrifices. With the family in danger, the looming question remains: Will Gabriel pursue his lectureship in Edinburgh, leaving Julia and Clare vulnerable in Boston, or will he abandon the chance of a lifetime in order to ensure his family's safety?

I was shocked at how the book ended, it felt rushed and like Mr Reynard gave up on the story which is so not like him.
There were alot of questions that were presented in the story, none of which were answered except for Julianne taking her studies a broad.
What happens to Cecilia when Catherine starts at Harvard University? Who broke into the Emmerson's home and why was the momento mori left behind? What is Simon's role, was he plotting something against Julianne? I can see the writer leaving one question but there are just too many to leave unanswered. Was the intruder someone from the Florentine series? Do the Emerson's get to adopt Maria? Maybe Rachel And Aaron should adopt Maria.
All in all it was a well written story and well narrated by Robertson Dean. He did another excellent job as in the Florentine series in the Roman and the Shadow.
I'm sure this will not be the last we hear of the Emmerson's and Sylvain Reynard's writings.
I look forward to the next novel, just hope it won't be too long before that happens.
Left with too many questions!

The new narrator is good - much prefer his Katherine Picton to the previous one!
