Summary Note London, 1991: Alex Johns, an art intern at the Courtauld, believes a hidden secret lies within Diego Velázquez's Las Meninas -- one of the most written about paintings of all time. Her mother died in mysterious circumstances while trying to uncover its secrets and Alex is troubled by memories of her own encounter as a child with the girl in the painting -- the Infanta Margarita -- who continues to haunt her. Alex must take up her mother's work and find evidence to uncover the truths within the canvas. Madrid, 1656: The Infanta Margarita senses that those around her believe the royal household is cursed. She wonders why her father, the King, is a pale shadow of himself and why the Queen is distressed. What threatens the royal offspring? She struggles to fight for her own destiny as the forces around her seek to marry her off and send her from the home she loves.
