Book excerpt: Princess Anya, born to the nobility, is viciously attacked on her uncle's estate, a crime that sets in motion whispered rumors that she has been made unmarriable. Refusing to be intimidated by slander and lies, she plots a brilliant counterattack. Confounding society, Anya marries an American diplomat, bringing new blood into the Sviridov family. She stuns the gossips and begins her ascendancy as the Sviridov princess who will rise to every challenge to protect her family against their nemesis, the revolutionary Oleg Ivanov, who once attacked and nearly killed her, and will act out his obsession until one or the other is dead. Against the backdrop of growing unrest in Moscow and St. Petersburg, World War One, and the Revolution, Anya must either prevail or perish. When Oleg kidnaps her son, the die is cast for the end game. Praise: "A lushly detailed historical romance ...
