I am Anastasia . The history books say I passed away . . . They don’t understand the half from it.

Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single objective: to smuggle a historical spell into her suitcase on her method to exile in Siberia. It could be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is usually after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before.

Nastya’s only chances of keeping herself and her family members are either release a the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, about Romanov the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the common Bolshevik. Nastya has just dabbled in magic, nonetheless it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might actually like her.

That’s, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s around the other.
