Oriana Paredes has been hiding her identity for two years; she's a spy for her people, the sereia. They are forbidden from entering the Golden City. Yet she'd found a placement in the household of an influential member of elite social circles. Unfortunately, her employer plans to elope to Paris, leaving Oriana without employment or her hiding place among the wealthy.

But things go awry before they even reach the train, and Oriana finds herself fighting for her life below the surface of the Douro River.

Duilio Ferriera consults for the police of the Golden City. Although he's a nobleman, the work gives him a way to use his secret gift the help others. He's a seer, and witches are barely tolerated in his native city, but his gift is telling him that something is very wrong with a work of art being assembled in the water.

When he and Oriana meet, he knows that she is the one who can help him unravel that mystery. In turn, Oriana wants vengeance for her slain employer. Can they put aside their suspicions of each other long enough to solve the puzzle?
