How do you turn old gold into priceless treasure?

At the turn of the twentieth century, Sigurlina finds herself in a hopeless situation. She is the

motherless daughter of an eccentric father, who expects her to spend her life helping him

catalogue Icelandic archaeological artifacts.

But Sigurlina has her own ambitions of education and excitement and after a harrowing

experience, takes fate into her own hands. She disappears from Reykjavik, along with a historical

relic from her father’s collection. Through a series of incredible events, the artifact is unveiled at

The Metropolitan Museum of New York. Meanwhile, officials in Iceland launch their own

investigation into the theft of the artifact.

A tragicomic tale about the preservation of cultural treasure, an intriguing perspective on the

coincidences that have determined their place in history and a thrilling and winding story of the

human fates that underpin it all.
