| Summary | In a world shadowed by his own declining health, a novelist’s quiet life is upended by a chance encounter with a charismatic, yet dubious, collector. He finds himself lent a pouch of "thirty silver coins," each etched with ancient faces, igniting a chain of events that shatters his reality. As his unassuming wife undergoes a startling, almost aristocratic, transformation, the lines blur between counterfeit and treasure, loyalty and betrayal. The author is dragged into a dangerous vortex of international intrigue and personal deception, forcing him to question everything he knows. With his sanity hanging by a thread and the stakes escalating far beyond mere wealth, what sinister truth will he uncover about these legendary coins, his wife, and the darkness that lurks beneath their polished surfaces? |
