Mary Dundas has baffled experts for nearly 300 years with her cryptic journal that is filled with untapped secrets. Sara Thomas, an amateur codebreaker will travel to Paris to try to crack open the cipher once and for all and reveal the secrets hidden within the journal’s pages.
Three centuries ago, Mary Dundas wanted nothing more than to be free. With the loss of her family, Mary pushes through with her dreams of adventure but it appears that her journey will be far more perilous than she thought it would be.
As Sara uncovers the tale of Mary page by page, she herself faces a trial that will push her to her limitations.

Reactions:
“This story is one of suspense, romance and history that I think all readers will enjoy. I did. One most also appreciate the amount of effort that Kearsley’s puts into each and everyone of her stories. Rest assured I will be adding the printed copy of this book to my shelf as well as with all future releases from the author.” – L. Shaw

“I could say so much more about the story but truly it is all exquisite! There is no other way to describe this book. Oh, yes, I could say that the narrative is well paced, the romance slow building, the plot riveting, the characterization well developed but that all evolves into “exquisite”. This book contains the most romantic declaration of love I’ve yet to read in any novel. I’ll say no more about that so I don’t spoil it for you.” – D. Salvagin La Deetda Reads “La Deet Da Reads”

“This book has everything I’ve come to expect from Susanna Kearsley – interesting and complex plots, likable characters that you can relate to, laugh with or sometimes cry with, politics and intrigue, romance, and well-researched historical characters and events. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’m excited to see what the author is going to do next, because her books just keep getting better.” – Sarah M

“I found it to be too slow, not very exciting and most of all I just could not relate to the characters. It may have been because I expected more then a person deciphering an old diary or I expected more from the characters, but I just never got into it and found myself fast forwarding through the book.” – Jolene Nolen

“I’ve been counting down the days for the release of this book. But it’s the same old line from The Winter Sea. That book was amazing. This one was good, because the writing is just so good. But the story. Been there, done that.” – UGAMom
