St. Petersburg, Russia,
1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante
Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark
secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the
girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her
aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift.
But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial
Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.
An evil presence is growing within Europe's royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina's strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources . . . including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar's standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina's help to safeguard Russia, even if he's repelled by her secret, and the dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Katerina feels inexplicably drawn.
The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power, but which side will she choose—and to whom will she give her heart?

M-a dus instantaneu cu gandul la Ana Karenina, probabil ca autorul s-a inspirat putin si apoi a adaugat puterile paranormale. Actiunea ce se petrece in Rusia si elemntele istorice fac din aceasta carte una mai deosebita, mi-ar placea sa o citesc.
Pe mine la masacrul familiei Romanov mai ales ca eroina e ducesa de Oldenburg; cand n-a fost istoria sursa de inspiratie?
Si pe mine tot la familia Romanov si Anastasia m-a ds cu gandul. Imi place mult acea-pot sa-i zic poveste, desi e reala?-poveste.
