London 1900
Alice Webster has made the worst decision of her life. When her Aunt Agatha offers her the chance to go on a Grand Tour she jumps at the opportunity to get away from the glare of scandal. Heading off to see the world as the century turns, Alice begins to believe her broken heart can be healed, and a chance encounter on a train bound for Paris changes everything. When their journey takes them to a Cretan house thick with history, and the world-famous dig at Knossos, stories from the past begin to echo through Alice's life.
London Present Day
Eloise De'Ath is meant to be a grieving widow. But if people knew the truth about her late husband, they'd understand why she can't even pretend. Needing to escape, Eloise heads to Crete and the house her father-in-law Quinn left her, and slowly Quinn's home begins to reveal its mysteries. In his office Eloise discovers his life's work: the study of the Victorian excavation to find the Minotaur's labyrinth. Fascinated by the diaries of a young woman from the dig, Eloise is drawn into Alice's tale of lost love and her growing obsession with Ariadne, the princess of the labyrinth.
Two women divided by time but connected by the long-hidden secrets of the past. As their stories join in a golden thread, a terrible injustice might finally be undone...
This unforgettable timeslip novel is perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Elena Collins and Diana Gabaldon.
