For Jessica Tregarth, an unexpected invitation to visit her grandfather in England comes as a wonderful surprise, an opportunity to open doors to a family history that have always been closed to her. But her arrival is greeted by mysterious villains who pursue her through Cornwall, their motive and intentions unknown. Jessica's only clue is an antique heirloom she possesses, an ancient ring that bears the Tregarth family crest. Her only ally is handsome gothic novelist David Randallโher self-proclaimed protectorโwho appears seemingly out of nowhere to help her solve a five hundred-year-old puzzle.
Something out of the cloudy mists of Arthurian lore has come back to plague a frightened American abroad, and a remarkable truth about a fabled king and a medieval treasure could ultimately make Jess Tregarth very richโor very dead.
Elizabeth Peters earned her Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicagoโs famed Oriental Institute. During her fifty-year career, she wrote more than seventy novels and three nonfiction books on Egypt. She received numerous writing awards and, in 2012, was given the first Amelia Peabody Award, created in her honor. She died in 2013, leaving a partially completed manuscript of The Painted Queen.
Grace Conlin (1962โ1997) was the recording name of Grainne Cassidy, an award-winning actress and acclaimed narrator. She was a member of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC, and won a Helen Hayes Award in 1988 for her role in Woolly Mammothโs production of Savage in Limbo.

Reviews
“Gothica in the irreverent trappings I like best.”
โNo one is better at juggling torches while dancing on a high wire than Elizabeth Peters.โ
โGood pace, high spirits, and lots of amusement.โ
โPeters really knows how to spin romance and adventure into a mystery.โ
