A historical castle, a tragic love, and a web of secrets starts to unravel.... Emily Braden has stopped believing in fairy stories and happy endings. When her amazing but unreliable cousin Harry invites her on a holiday to explore the famous town of Chinon, and rapidly disappears - well, that's Harry for you. As Emily makes the acquaintance of Chinon and its people, she starts to discover dark secrets under the charm. Legend has it that during a 13th-century siege of the castle that looms over the city, Queen Isabelle, child bride-to-be of King John, hid a "treasure of great price". And within the last times of the German job during World Battle II, there was another Isabelle moving into Chinon, a girl whose love for an enemy soldier gone tragically awry. As the problems of the past become disastrously real, Emily is drawn a lot more deeply into a labyrinth of secret as twisted as the pavements and tunnels of the old town itself.
