In this city, no one keeps tabs on secrets better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, S?verin Montagnet-Alarie. But when the all-powerful society, the Order of Babel, seeks him out for help, S?verin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. To find the ancient artifact the Order seeks, S?verin will need help from a band of experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian who can't yet go home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in all but blood, who might care too much. Together, they'll have to use their wits and knowledge to hunt the artifact through the dark and glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the world, but only if they can stay alive"--Provided by publisher.
