Publisher's Synopsis
Émilie Saint-Just is an ordinary French girl in the year 1558, whose fervent desire is to serve King, Queen and Country. Chosen as a Lady-in-Waiting to Mary Queen of Scots, Émilie fulfils her duties with grace and diligence, earning her the admiration and close friendship of the Royals, as well as the ire of the other Ladies, and a vicious envy from one in particular, Marguerite; a witch and practitioner of the dark arts. Cursed on her death bed, to a fate of death and rebirth, ad infinitum, by the witch Marguerite, Émilie, instead of slipping into eternal life, slips into a new life, in a new place. As Marguerite's potent curse persists, Émilie, as she first was, lives on throughout the centuries; each life filled with immeasurable pain and sadness, with only the occasional joy and triumph. As she finds herself reborn in the modern era, with a renewed hope of breaking the bonds of her eternal tormentor; in the race against time, her demise ever present in her mind, and the possibility of a new life on the horizon, Émilie decides on a course of action to finally free herself from her eternal time trap, but can the plan really work?
