Summary
from Goodreads:
In
this second Empress Chronicles book, 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.
