About the book:
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.
