An Oriental Curse in Brussels

In Brussels, the past isn’t just preserved—it’s alive, mysterious, and sometimes deadly. Nicolas De Wever, a passionate antiques dealer with an uncanny knack for unearthing history’s secrets, finds his world upended when a rare oriental artefact arrives at his quaint shop on Korte Boterstraat. This isn’t merely an object of beauty; it carries the ancient curse of Zuljanah, the two-faced dragon whose legend foretells both fortune and devastation.

As whispers of looted treasures, high-stakes art exhibitions, and a brutal murder ripple through Brussels’ elite circles, Nicolas is drawn into a labyrinth of deceit and intrigue. With rivals lurking in every shadow and trusted allies proving fallible, every relic becomes a clue—and every clue a step closer to a perilous truth.

Matt Borne’s riveting second De Wever mystery blends art, passion, and dark secrets into a spellbinding tale where history’s allure comes with a curse that could change everything. Prepare to be captivated by a world where every antique holds a story, and every story might just be the key to unlocking a dangerous destiny.
