A royal palace. A closed book. A betrayal that will echo through generations…

Windsor, 1940: Secretly tasked with foiling a suspected plot, Sophie Klein is placed in the Royal Library at Windsor castle, where the princesses reside. But when she learns that Windsor is compromised, Sophie must sacrifice everything she knows to save the future queen of England…

Philadelphia, Present day: Looking through her grandmother's papers, Lacey Jones comes across a mysterious letter stamped with the Windsor Castle crest. But how did it come to be in her family's possession?

And so begins a journey that will take Lacey deep into the heart of the oldest inhabited castle in the world, and change her life forever…

The nazi atrocities at the beginning almost made me put it down. thankfully, the majority of the book was mystery without violence

I enjoyed the dual storyline and unraveling the mystery of Sophie’s story. I do wish it hadn’t started with her arrest, as I felt it spiked the impact of her story. It was a compelling read, though. The Nazi atrocities were hard to take in because we know they were so real for so many.

Engaging story!

It’s a really interesting mix of actual history and supposition. I really enjoyed the WW2 part. I never did understand the gravity of Lacey’s storyline but it was an interesting tie to the older story line. I would highly recommend!

Really good story!

This is a very well written story giving lots to think about regarding WW2 and the ways lives were completely changed, and families shattered. It was a great story for listening. There is plenty of intrigue and I never became bogged down.

Brilliant

I found this book to be both poignant and heartfelt.
Separation of families during the war is documented
in many different ways, and it seemed very personal
in this story.
I thought the narration to be exceptional.
