Six murdered women. Six fairy tales. One Vatican secret that will shatter the foundation of history. When Professor Anne Anderson is called to examine strange markings on a murder victim, she recognizes something impossible —a coded message in a forgotten fairy tale dialect that hasn't been seen since the 16th century. But what haunts her most is the signature: the same symbols found in her mother's journal the day she disappeared. The Vatican dispatches its elite agents. The Royal Family sends their guards. But Anne is already on Europe's ancient Fairy Tale Road, following a trail of breadcrumbs left by a secret society of women who have been protecting these stories—and their deadly truths—for centuries. What began as folklore has become fatal . Each clue reveals another forgotten tale, another powerful truth erased from history. The stories aren't just stories—they're a map to the most dangerous manuscript ever written. And Anne is running out of pages to turn.
