Description
ONE DIARY * TWO HEROINES * THREE LOCKETS
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS BOOK 2 of THE EMPRESS CHRONICLES SERIES.
In this highly anticipated sequel to THE EMPRESS CHRONICLES, Liz and Sisi continue their intertwined journey through time. On the heels of discovering a magical locket in the empress diary, Liz comes to understand its very special power: the wearer must speak the truth. Not only that, but it turns out that there are three lockets, each with their own magic and power.
Meanwhile, Sisi realizes that she’s communicating with a girl who lives 150 years in the future. A girl who knows what awaits her if she marries the emperor: lack of personal freedom and a legacy that will refer to her as the "reluctant empress."
With the world's future hanging in the balance, the two heroines must work together to thwart Lola, whose ambition to rule the Habsburg Empire will rewrite history, and lead to a terrifying new version of reality.

This was a story steeped with a little bit of history and a good mystery. I did not read Book #1 but that did not make this book any less enjoyable. This was a purely fantasy driven story that was easily followed thru history and back and forth thru the past and the present. Liz is trying to deal with her father's new life when he announces his girlfriend is pregnant and now more than ever she wants to escape the goat farm she is trapped on with them. As she corresponds back and forth thru time with Sisi Liz hatches a plan that takes her off the farm and that just may change the course of the future and once done can it be returned to they way it was without any permanent damage done to history. Great read. I would like to thank the publisher and Net Galley for the chance to read this ARC.
