She remembers everything—because she lived through it all.
Irene Adler is no ordinary woman. To Sherlock Holmes, she is—and always has been—The Woman. And yet, she appeared in only one story.
What did Sherlock know and keep from Watson? What happened during those three long years when he faked his death? Just how extraordinary did Irene Adler have to be to earn that title in Sherlock’s mind?
From divine councils to crumbling empires, whispered betrayals to impossible truths, Irene has seen it all—and masterminded most of it. Now, she must reveal what history chose to forget… to one person.
Portraits of Irene launches Simon Thorne’s sweeping Portion of Divinity saga with a globe-spanning adventure as Sherlock and Irene reunite to find her long-lost cohorts—and discover something they both desperately need: what it means to be human.
Join Charlie Watson and her unflappable butler Felix as they unravel history, science, memory, myth, and the haunting truths revealed posthumously through Sherlock’s journals.
For readers who crave historical fiction with philosophical depth, cinematic scope, and a touch of the divine—this is where your journey begins.
