For Anastasia Romanov, life as the daughter of Russia's last Tsar is about to be torn apart by the violence of revolution. Ousted from the imperial palace when the Bolsheviks seize control, Anastasia and her family are exiled to Siberia, to await an uncertain future at their captors' hands. But even as the time stretches out, and the threat to their lives grows more menacing, romance quietly blossoms between Anastasia and a sympathetic young guard named Sasha. But will their secret love be enough to help her and her family avoid the firing squad? Inspired by the mysteries that have long surrounded the fate of Russia's last princess, this is a compelling and romantic interpretation of what might have been.
