An Ancient Castle, a
Tragic Love, and a Web of
Secrets Begins to Unravel...
Emily Braden
has stopped believing in fairy tales and happy endings. When
her fascinating but unreliable cousin Harry invites her on a
holiday to explore the legendary own of Chinon, and promptly
disappears—well, that's Harry for you.
As Emily
makes
the acquaintance of Chinon and its people, she begins to
uncover dark secrets beneath the charm. Legend has it that
during a thirteenth-century siege of the castle that looms
over the city, Queen Isabelle, child bride of King John, hid
a "treasure of great price." And in the last days of the
German occupation during World War II, another Isabelle
living in Chinon, a girl whose love for an enemy soldier
went tragically awry.
As the dangers of the past
become disastrously real, Emily is drawn ever more deeply
into a labyrinth of mystery as twisted as the streets and
tunnels of the ancient town itself.
