Abstract:
A secret letter from the past influences the course of history with its fateful message. Its contents will inspire Tsar Nicholas II to plan his elaborate Masquerade to save his children from a horrific fate. Russian mysticism and its effect on the Tsar will draw you in and entrap you in its web of mystery. It is in essence a love story, plain and simple, but not the kind one would expect to find in a typical romance novel. It focuses rather on the overwhelming love Nicholas had for his family and his country and the measures he was willing to take to protect these two great loves.
