In this
dazzling novel from the
author of THE MOMENT BEFORE, one courageous girl seeks keys
to the past to
unlock the future…
When
city girl Liz is banished to a rural goat farm on the
outskirts of Portland,
the 15-year-old feels her life spiraling out of
control. She can’t
connect to her father or his young girlfriend, and past
trauma adds to her
sense of upheaval. The only person who seems to
keep her sane is a
troubled boy who is fighting his own demons. But
all of this changes in
one historical
instant.
*
One-hundred
fifty years earlier, Elisabeth of Bavaria has troubles of
her own. Her
childhood is coming to a crashing end, and her destiny is
written in the form
of a soothsaying locket that has the ability to predict true
love. But
evil is afoot in the form of a wicked enchantress who
connives to wield the
power of the locket for her own destructive
ends.

When
Liz finds a timeworn diary, and within it a locket, she
discovers the secrets
and desires of the young Bavarian princess who will one day
grow up to be the
legendary Empress of Austria. It is in the pages of
the diary that these
two heroines will meet, and it is through their interwoven
story that Liz will
discover she has the power to rewrite history—including her
own…
