About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the weight of heritage, tradition, or the impossible choice between personal happiness and family duty. It is a perfect fit for readers who are fascinated by the intersection of real historical tragedy and the 'what if' of magic. Set against the crumbling backdrop of the Russian Empire, the story follows Natalya as she searches for a mystical Faberge egg to save the Romanov family and the boy she loves. While the plot is high-stakes adventure, the heart of the book explores the deep fear of losing one's identity during social upheaval. It touches on themes of loyalty, bravery, and the complex nature of justice. Because it features the violent realities of the Russian Revolution, it is best suited for mature teens who can handle themes of political unrest and peril alongside a lush, romantic fantasy narrative.
