When 44-year-old chocolatier Lotte Bonnet's husband Emil takes his own life while walking the Camino de Santiago, her perfect world crumbles. What begins as a journey of grief soon transforms into a dangerous quest for truth as Lotte discovers that the man she thought she knew was living a life built on lies.
Eleven months after Emil's death, Lotte travels to Bosnia to fulfill his final wish and scatter his ashes. It's in Sarajevo that the real mystery begins. She learns that Emil wasn't who he claimed to be—that his entire identity was a carefully constructed fabrication. Hired to investigate his past, a local attorney uncovers revelations that shake Lotte to her core.
Determined to understand what drove Emil to such despair, Lotte decides to walk the Camino exactly as he did, following his planned route and timeline. But someone is watching her. Someone who knows the truth about Emil's past and will do anything to prevent Lotte from discovering it. The pilgrimage that once offered spiritual renewal now becomes a race against time as she realizes she's being followed.
