About this listen

Ellie Sawyer has always felt more comfortable with books than people, which explains why she's a PhD history student neck deep in research and trying to complete her doctoral dissertation in time to graduate. But the final books she needs are half a world away in the tiny European kingdom of Lethersby, and the only time she can access the secretive Royal Castle Library is during the Christmas holiday.

Ellie is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery that has eluded Lethersby scholars for more than 100 hundred years by figuring out what happened to their long-lost queen, a young royal who disappeared shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. With the help of Mark, a handsome castle staff member who shares her love of history, she might be able to unravel the queen's story. But Mark is keeping his own secret from her, and what they discover together could change everything for Ellie—and the entire kingdom.

Wonderful narrator brought the story to life in the audiobook version of this book. Loved the growth that Ellie experiences by the end of the story, the castle setting, the library, the historical mystery, and the people of Lethersby. And Mark is absolutely charming and swoon worthy! Can’t wait for book 2!

Strong faith elements and clean romance

I waited patiently for this novel to be recorded in audiobook and was not disappointed to finally get to experience the magic for myself. I gifted the book to a friend for Christmas and she loved it as well. I loved the Christian storytelling without it being cringy or awkward. Actually, my heart was encouraged and convicted in a very real way and I fell in love with the characters! I hope this is the first of many from this author!

I want more!!!

I read it and now I’ve listened and totally enjoyed both ways! I loved the Royal aspect, the library research, the mystery, the progression of Ellie’s faith and Bible readings, and of course, the progression of the romance! So so good!
