Description
The year is 1917. The Great War has engulfed Europe and Asia, and all the major powers are at war. Russia is turbulent and violent; food is running low, supplies are vanishing, and young men are being killed in battle. The people are angry and their hatred is directed at one man: Tsar Nicholas II. In the midst of the worst war the world has seen before, Tsar Nicholas Romanov is trying desperately to cling to the vanishing strands of control he had over Russia, the same control his family has had for the last three hundred years. But with foreign nations, the nobles, and the people waging war against him, Nicholas must manage to keep him and his family safe and alive. A fictional account of the final years of the Romanov family and the final years of the Imperial Russian monarchy before the upheaval of the Russian Revolution, the story of the struggling Romanov family and their close household servants showcases how family ties, loyalty, and hope are too strong to relinquish even in the face of tragedy.
