Romanov

My name is Anastasia. The history books say I died. They dont know the half of it. Anastasia Nastya Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her familys only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and hes hunted Romanov before. Nastyas only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesnt act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesnt frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her. That is, until shes on one side of a firing squad . . . and hes on the other. Praise for Romanov: "I am obsessed with this book!
