But her maybe-ex-boyfriend is ghosting her, she might have just blown her chance at getting into her dream college, and now all she really wants is to be back home in Chicago figuring out her messy life instead of brooding in the City of Light.
Two hundred years before Khayyamâs summer of discontent, Leila is struggling to survive and keep her true love hidden from the Pasha who has âgiftedâ her with favored status in his harem. In the present dayâand with the company of Alex, a très charmant teen descendant of Alexandre DumasâKhayyam searches for a rumored lost painting, uncovering a connection between Leila and Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, and Lord Byron that may have been erased from history.
Echoing across centuries, Leila and Khayyamâs lives intertwine, and as one womanâs long-forgotten life is uncovered, anotherâs is transformed.
