Against his wishes, Grand Duke Michael Romanov was thrust into the role of tsar for one day when his brother, Tsar Nicholas II, abdicated. Little did he know, this betrayal would put him in grave danger at the hands of the Bolsheviks. When he disappeared, his wife Natasha fled to England with their teenage daughter, desperate to escape the bloody revolution that threatened their lives. Natasha Sergeyevna, the twice-divorced daughter of a lawyer, had thought she found her fairy tale ending when she married Grand Duke Michael Romanov. But as St. Petersburg fell under revolutionary control in 1917, her dream became a nightmare. With Lenin's rise to power, the imperial family was marked for destruction, and Natasha feared for her husband's life. Was Michael able to escape? Or did he become another victim of the Bolsheviks' merciless reign? In this gripping tale of love and danger, Natasha's determination to find her husband echoes that of another controversial couple - the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Like them, Michael and Natasha faced harsh criticism for their marriage, but they chose to stand by each other and face exile rather than give up on their love. For fans of historical fiction and stories of forbidden love.
