The Pearl is a siren's song in the form of a stone, sending people to distances they never dreamed of going. 1886. Western Australia. The Brightwell family, arriving from England, settles in a new home in Australia. Ten-year-old Eliza knows little about what awaits them on these shores, where pearl shells sometimes reach the size of soup plates and where danger lurks behind exotic beauty. Her father promised that it would be pearls that would provide them with wealth. Ten years later, Charles Brightwell, now the most successful pearl hunter in the bay, disappears from his ship in the open sea. Rumors of mutiny and murder circulate in the town. Stubborn Eliza refuses to believe that her extraordinary father is dead and is eager to find out what really happened to him. In her quest for truth, Eliza discovers that behind the beautiful facade of the pearl mining industry lie many dark and dirty secrets. Eliza soon learns that the truth may cost more than pearls, and she must decide how much she is willing to pay and how many dangers she is willing to overcome to find it...
