Intrigue and wartime espionage create a vivid backdrop to a narrative that carefully details the toll of tyranny and the price of revolution. Aveline’s formal introduction is interrupted by an insurrection on the castle grounds. Cambron entwines Ellie’s quest, Vi’s memories, and the story of Aveline Sainte-Moreau, a daughter of the privileged class engaged to the son of the Duc et Vivay, who owns the castle in the late 18th century. Armed with nothing more than an old photo and a reference to the “Sleeping Beauty” castle, Ellie engages Quinn Foley to guide her through the Loire Valley. Ellie Carver travels to present-day France from Michigan after her grandmother, Vi, gives her cryptic messages about a medieval castle during a dementia-ridden bedside conversation. Cambron ( The Ringmaster’s Wife) once again makes smart use of multiple eras in her latest time-jumping romance.
