Known as The Ice Queen, Anneliese Zander de St Phalle is one of the worlds most celebrated fashion designers. With an empire that stretches across continents, shes a truly global brand, in every sense. Yet despite her success, shes a mystery; a reclusive disciplined perfectionist who rarely grants interviews. Shes successful and shes talented, and thats all anyone needs to know.

Anneliese never talks about her past - not even to her only daughter, Callan. Shes worked hard to leave it all behind her and its a time and place to which Anneliese will never return. Or so she thinks.

At an exclusive New Years Eve party at her glamorous island hideaway, a woman appears whom Anneliese has done her best to forget. On the cusp of her retirement, at the height of Anneliese fame, the stranger brings a story that demands to be told. To Annelieses horror, the past cannot be left behind; it is here, part and parcel of the present, despite everything shes done to forget it...
