In the labyrinths of an ancient city lies a Queen's treasure
1205 - the town of Chinon is beseiged by enemies of King John, and
his young Queen calls upon a trusted servant to conceal her
treasured jewels.
Emily Braden is intrigued by the medieval story of Queen Isabelle,
and cannot resist when her cousin Harry, a historian, suggests a
trip to the white-walled town of Chinon, nestling in France's Loire
Valley. But when Harry vanishes and Emily begins to search for him,
she stumbles across another intriguing mystery -- a second Isabelle,
a chambermaid during the Second World War, who had her own tragedy,
and her own treasure to hide.
As Emily explores the ancient town of labyrinthine tunnels, old
enmities, and new loves, she finds herself drawn ever closer to the
mysterious Isabelles and their long-kept secrets.
