Anna has always felt a little out of place. Dreaming of the past, where royalty reigned and everything seemed grander, she never quite fit in with the other girls her age. When her kind but preoccupied parents decide to move to a quiet village in France to restore an ancient castle, Anna finally feels that she is in her rightful place. Plus, as the new "American girl" in town, she becomes an instant sensation at her school, living the royal life she had always imagined.

Just when Anna begins to settle into her new world, a mysterious visitor arrives, and dark secrets hidden within the castle's walls start to surface. As her perfect life unravels, Anna finds herself in a fight for her place at school, in the village, and even within her own family. Will she uncover the truth in time to keep her newfound 'royalty, ' or will the shadows of the past destroy everything she's built?
