Summary:
The history books said she died, this fantasy YA novel reimagines the fate of Anastasia Romanov and her family. Set in 1918, Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov is in exile in Tobolsk, Russia. Given the task to find and smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase, it might be their only chance at salvation but the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them and they are not someone who can be easily tricked.
Nastya’s only hope for saving herself and her family is either to release the spell and deal with the damage or enlist the help from Zash, a handsome soldier who isn’t like the other soldiers who threaten her very existence. Nastya will dabble in magic and fight for her family alongside this charming enemy she’s starting to gain feelings for. That is until she’s on one side of the firing squad and he’s on the other.
A dramatic, historical fantasy novel that is from the former Grand Duchess of Russia’s point of view, this book will have you on the edge of your seat as you journey with Nastya to find the spell to help her family, travelling on the run and dealing with a forbidden first love.
