Harriet and Khuwelsa Edgbaston aren't typical sisters. Harry is nosy and that winds them up in all kinds of trouble. But this time it's different. After their father's home in East Africa was destroyed, they're going to Italy to find Harry's mother who left when Harry was ten. The search turns into a fight for their lives as they become the target of the Ottoman Empire's war machine. When they finally track down Harry's mother, the deadly outcome is something neither girl could have imagined.
