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...
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 destructi
ve 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...
