**Three women. A long-buried secret. One voice will free them all...**

**London, 1915** Amid the wartime chaos, Katerina is hailed as a beacon of hope for her bakery, which offers divination alongside sweet treats. But the dark truth she's hiding could cost her everything.

**Germany, 1918** Miriam secretly vows to help a mute British soldier in the prisoner-of-war camp she's stationed at. Soon she must make an impossible choice: will she save the one she loves, or herself?

**Cornwall, Present Day** Edie is astonished to discover a mysterious box hidden in the wall of her newly renovated cottage. As Edie starts to investigate, she uncovers a secret that has lain hidden for over a century...

_Sweeping through the cobbled streets of war-time London, a German WWI camp, and the sea-swept cliffs of Cornwall,_ The Story Collector _is a thrilling, richly woven story about three women, bound by a long-held secret._
