Nacistami okupovaný Paríž, dve sestry a temné rodinné tajomstvo Keď sa niekedy dopočujem o krutostiach, ktoré sa páchajú, mám pocit, že sa musia odohrávať v inom svete. No dejú sa tu, v Paríži. Viacerí tvrdia, že situácia sa ešte zhorší. Dnes som v metre sedela vedľa dvoch vystrašených židoviek. Začula som, ako si zašepkali: „Teraz pôjdu po francúzskych občanoch.“ Dala by som čokoľvek za to, aby sa toto šialenstvo skončilo. Medzi vášnivou impulzívnou Chloe a jaj odvážnou staršou sestrou Adalyn je silné sesterské puto, až kým do Francúzska v roku 1940 nevtrhnú nacisti. O viac ako polstoročie neskôr šestnásťročná Chloina vnučka, Američanka Alice, znenazdajky zdedí byt v Paríži. Starobylo zariadený a desaťročia spustnutý vyvoláva množstvo otázok... Prečo jej babka nikdy nerozprávala o svojom detstve? Kto je to druhé dievča na fotografiách nájdených v tajomnom byte? A prečo sa doň babkina rodina po vojne nevrátila? Celá rodina trpí úmrtím babičky a zároveň sa spamätáva zo záhadného dedičstva, no jediný, kto v sebe nachádza silu pátrať po pravde, je Alice. To, čo nakoniec zistí, šokuje celú rodinu, no zároveň aj zacelí jej rany.

Like last summer, she thought her co-worker was into her, when in reality he found her flirting pathetic. Then she meets Brenton Riggs Jr., and right away she knows that their connection isn’t just in her head. When he swoops in to save her one night from a less than savory party encounter, she falls head-over-heels. Finally, someone Alyson likes who likes her back! But when she finds out about the King’s Cup—a competition the guys at their boarding school started to see who has the most sexual prowess—she’s put on edge. Does Brenton really want to be with her, or is he just trying to win? Then Alyson and the other girls at the school start a competition of their own: The Queen’s Cup. It’s all about reclaiming their power. But as the competition heats up, Alyson’s relationship begins to fall apart—and it isn’t long before the cracks in her perfect love story start to show through.
