In 1983, Charlie Benson is ripped from between the sheets of her luxurious bed and plunged into a frenzied chain of life and death events where terrifying visions of another time and a dangerous entanglement turn her life upside down Almost twenty years before, Fiona Benson is being flown towards an incredible sunset over Lake Nakuru in Kenya when her plane is sprayed with bullets...It's 1792. The drums roll, the conductor taps the lecture with his baton and the orchestra begins to play. Angelo D'Aria's body quivers with passion as he screws the tip of his toe shoe into the wooden boards, crosses himself and springs from behind the curtain. A captivating tale of how two restless souls from Venice in 1792, and two forbidden lovers in terror torn London in 1983 are bound by the blood-stained satin ribbons of a toe shoe and a deadly pledge.
