In this
dazzling first book in the EMPRESS CHRONICLES series by the author of THE
MOMENT BEFORE, one courageous girl seeks keys to the past to unlock the
future…
Synopsis
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…
