Before war changed the world, Opal Vella dreamed of escaping her small island home in Malta to build a life of her own in Paris.

Accompanied by her cousin Celine and best friend Lulu, Opal arrives in pre-WW2 France, determined to pursue her passion for dance and embrace the freedom she has always longed for. Instead, she finds herself navigating fierce competition, complicated relationships, and a Europe teetering on the brink of war. As danger closes in, Opal must grow up quickly, learning that ambition and independence come at a price.

When a devastating injury places her in the care of Andrei, a young Russian doctor, an unexpected connection grows into a bond that will change both their lives. Yet as war looms closer and the consequences of her choices begin to unfold, Opal is forced to make an impossible decision—one that will alter the course of her future forever.

Opal Before is a sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience—the unforgettable second installment in the Pier and Opal Series.
