Publisher's summary

Wedding plans for high school teachers Harrison Barrett and Celeste Scott are put on hold after finding a murder victim’s cryptic message scrawled on a pioneer cemetery headstone. As the couple investigates the mysterious warning, Celeste becomes inescapably linked to a centuries-old legend rooted in Pythagorean philosophy and a sinister quest for power.

Harrison and Celeste’s search for answers draws them into the historical accounting of Nortonville, a 19th-century coal-mining town set among the Mt. Diablo foothills. The untimely deaths of some townsfolk have a few prominent residents fearing the misfortunes are more than tragic accidents.

What ancient secret lies hidden among the Welsh immigrants and their toil for lucrative black diamonds? Follow Harrison and Celeste on their epic and often precarious journey traversing secret societies, mystic symbols, and medieval legends.

Will they discover Celeste’s connection to the profound mystery before it’s too late? The answer can only be found where past meets present, fact meets fiction, and mystery meets romance - in the shadow of Diablo.

Pass

i couldnt get past chapter 1.
the reading is in the tone of a PBS children's book. There is singing and offensive off putting fake accents

The story itself wasn't enough to keep me, especially after the book opens with a damsel in distress feminine lead being Protected by the masculine lead.

Deleting from my library and moving on.

Love this series

I live in the area and the mixture of the past and present - folklore and fact is wonderful. I was here before East Bay Regional Park obtained the land and used to hear all the stories of the white witch. Loved the book but did not care for the accents nor the singing.
