Anastasia and Her Sisters

Thereâ€™s a heavy price to pay for royalty in this compellingâ€”and trueâ€”story of Anastasia Romanov and her fellow grand duchesses of Russia, from an award-winning novelist.

Itâ€™s summer in 1914 and the Romanovs are aboard the Standart, the Russian royal yacht. Tsar Nicholas, Tsaritsa Alexandra, their four daughters, and the youngest child, Tsarevitch Alexei, are sailing to Romania to meet Crown Prince Carol and his parents. It seems like a fairy tale existence for the four grand duchesses, dressed in beautiful clothes, traveling from palace to palace. But itâ€™s not.

Life inside the palace is far from a fairy tale. The girlsâ€™ younger brother suffers from an excruciatingly painful and deadly blood disease, and their parents have chosen to shield the Russian people from the severity of the future tsarâ€™s condition. The secrets and strain are hard on the family, and conditions are equally dire beyond the palace walls. Peasants suffer under the burden of extreme poverty and Tsar Nicholasâ€™s leadership power weakens. And when the unthinkable happensâ€”Germany declares war on Russiaâ€”nothing in Anastasiaâ€™s world will ever be the same.
