In 1950s Amsterdam, Katja van Dam uncovers a hidden room in her family home, sealed for centuries and filled with breathtaking 17th-century paintings. But the true mystery lies not just in the artwork, but in the discovery of its creator: Pieter van Dijk, a gifted painter cursed by black magic and imprisoned for three hundred years by a jealous rival.

​

As Katja investigates her father’s wartime secrets and Pieter’s tragic past, her journey becomes intertwined with that of Sophie Verhoeven, Pieter’s 17th-century muse who risked everything to expose his betrayer.

​

Though separated by centuries, Katja and Sophie’s actions ripple through time, each unknowingly helping the other unravel the curse that binds Pieter.

​

But time is running out. To reclaim Pieter’s stolen legacy, both women must risk their own safety or let his story and his art remain lost forever.
