We all have two lives, the one we have known and the one that is waiting for us. Alyce, a perfumer, lost her speech at an early age, and when her parents were massacred at age five, she was adopted by a kindly pharmacist couple and raised in London; when World War II broke out and her adoptive parents were killed in a bombing raid, she was once again alone. Recovering from the war, Alys stumbles upon a seer who foretells her that Alys must take a long journey in which she will meet six people who will eventually guide her to the most important person in her life. Istanbul will be the place where their destinies will meet. When she embarks on Istanbul, Alys doesn't know that there is a life that has been waiting for her for a long time.
