Summary
The Stars of Lyra. A pair of rubies of a rare size and beauty, found by the british explorer Lord Joran de Winter during an expedition in the depth of China's crumbling empire. But Lord De Winter became so obsessed with them that he refused to share them with his business associate and friend, Lord Hobson, and betrayed him.
Decades passed. Now, Lord De Winter is dead, and Lord Hobson brought back to England his only daughter, Astra, to marry her and try to retrieve the lost gems. From the sideline, Evelyn, Lord Hobson's trusted right hand, observes in silence this foreign girl marrying her Lord. She doesn't know that Astra will knock over her whole life and manage to slip through the cracks of her sealed off heart.
But is there even a future where this relationship does not end in tragedy?
