When tsarist soldiers fire at a group of peaceful village protestors and kill his young bride, Pavel dedicates his life to overthrowing the Romanovs. Pavel’s underground group assassinates the
Grand Duke, changing the life of the Grand Duchess Elisavyeta forever.
Grief-stricken, Elisavyeta gives up her wealth and becomes a nun dedicated to the poor people of her country. When revolution finally sweeps Russia, she is the last Romanov captured, ripped from
her abbey in the middle of the night and shuttled to Siberia. It is here, in a distant wood on a moonlit eve, that Pavel is left to decide her fate.
The Romanov Bride is Alexander's fullest and most engaging book yet. Combining stunning writing with a keen talent for storytelling, Alexander uncovers more of the compelling Romanov drama
and intrigue for his many readers and all fans of historical fiction.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“[A] robust historical…The author’s extensive knowledge of Russia allows him to invigorate the narrative with telling details that bring the aristocrat Ella, who eventually became an Orthodox saint, convincingly to life…this is a compelling journey through momentous events that wraps up with a fine, deeply moving finale.” —Publishers Weekly
“De Cuir’s reading is beautiful and captures the gentleness of Elisavyeta and then her developing strength…The evolution of [the] characters from innocence to determination is fascinating, and the story of the Russian revolution is given new light…While listeners with knowledge of the history of this period will especially enjoy this book, students will be easily drawn into the story and will be interested in learning more.” —Kliatt
“The regime’s free fall is vividly brought to life…a moving testament to a saintly woman’s sad end.” —Kirkus Reviews
