Synopsis

The Herbarium, an enchanted sacred text written by the ancients, is safely hidden in a monastery outside of Chartres . . . or is it?

In present day California, thirty-something Paige Delaney is struggling to cope. Since the death of her husband, she's felt lost, aimless, and frustrated. At the urging of her best friend, she accepts an invitation to join a Wiccan ceremony.

And it's a night that changes everything.

Haunted by the vivid apparition she sees in the bonfire, Paige is sent reeling when her mother reveals a long-kept family secret: that Paige is a descendant of a powerful line of witches. With the help of past life regression expert Jack Kaplan, Paige begins a heart-pounding journey to 600 years in the past.

There, two unlikely allies have been tasked with the ultimate mission: to save the gravely wounded King of France from certain death. It's a race to deliver the sacred text that holds the key to his survival.

But more than that . . .

. . . it's a perilous path that will lead right back to Paige.

This book takes the reader on a journey by engaging the main characters in time travel, magic, romance, religion, and family history via the need to rescue a sacred text - The Herbarium.
