When Dana Blaire visits her archeologist father one summer, helping out at the Crestwood Museum as usual, her life is changed forever. An Egyptian magician’s coffin with sinister qualities turns out to be a time-portal, and a mysterious woman from the year 2403 charges Dana with traveling back in time to save the world from destruction.
A faceless villain from the future, known only as the Nemesis, is trying to change history by destroying crucial items so that important discoveries are lost, scientists and pioneers killed, and technology that shaped the course of events vanishes. Only Dana Blaire can go back in time, find the lost objects, restore or preserve them, and set history straight.
In The Mystery of the Diamond Necklace, Dana’s first adventure, the Nemesis from the future is reaching back across time to destroy a letter that may have been written by Marie Antoinette before the doomed Queen lost her head to the guillotine.
Dana travels back to pre-Revolutionary France where she gets caught up in the intrigues of the Court at Versailles, a magician named Cagliostro, a prince of the Church, and a gang of criminals trying to steal the most fabulous diamond necklace known to history.
If she cannot solve the mystery of the lost letter, the history of aviation would have been drastically altered and the French Revolution might not have occurred.
Thousands of lives hang in the balance, either way, and only Dana’s ability can keep history on its course.
