Chloe attempted to feign nonchalance, but the sight of Damien grinning at her with an unfathomable expression filled her with a sense of unease. She dreaded the truth that might emerge from his lips.

“The Goddess of Victory in the ceiling painting of the Royal Museum.”
“Pardon?”
“Do you not know who she is?”
