January 194 2. The Avallon Hotel &\; Spa is where high society goes to see and be s een. Located deep in the West Virginia mountains\, where healing sweetwate r flows\, the hotel is managed by a local\, June Hudson\, whose skills wer e noted by the wealthy Guilfoyles who own the place. War has begun\, and J une is trying to shield the Avallon from it\, but when the owner's son mak es a deal with the State Department to house dozens of Axis diplomats\, Ju ne must convince her staff--many of whom have sons and husbands heading to battle--to offer luxury to Nazis for the war effort. Peacefully. Meanwhil e\, FBI agent Tucker Minnick is searching for a spy among the detainees. H e has his own history with West Virginia and would have done anything to a void coming back\, but this mission is an exile that he can't escape unles s he earns it. As tension grows between locals and the detainees\, Tucker' s spy games disturb the peace\, and the eerie sweetwater proves more dange rous than once thought. June's future at the Avallon hangs in the balance -- but who is she without the hotel? And what is it without her? Maggie St iefvater makes her adult fiction debut in this mesmerizing portrait of an unlikely heroine\, a hotel--and a world--in peril\, and the love that can bloom even in such unlikely circumstances.-- Provided by publisher.
