Critics Review
“Ingenious…Keeps readers guessing through the final pages.”
“Ingenious…Keeps readers guessing through the final pages.” —USA Today
“A gripping and entirely believable description of the last days of the Romanovs…Thoroughly enjoyable, educational, and just a good old-fashioned page-turner.” —Margaret George, author of Mary, Called Magdalene

“Through the power of the author’s imagination, we see not only the tragedy of the Emperor, but that of a human being, man, and father.” —Ivan Artsyshevsky, The Romanov Family Association
