For nearly three hundred years, the cryptic journal of Mary
Dundas has lain unread. Now, amateur code breaker Sara Thomas has been sent to
Paris to crack the cipher.
Jacobite exile Mary Dundas is filled with longing—for
freedom, for adventure, for the family she lost. When fate opens the door, Mary
dares to set her foot on a path far more surprising and dangerous than she ever
could have dreamed.
As Mary’s gripping tale is revealed, Sara is faced with
challenges that will require letting go of everything she thought she
knew—about herself, about loyalty, and especially about love. Though divided by
centuries, these two women will be united in a quest to discover the limits of
trust and the coincidences of fate.
