Tsar Nicholas II holds the fate of Russia in his hands after receiving a fateful prophecy warning of an horrific future that lies ahead. What will the richest and most powerful man in the world do to save all he holds dear? The Tsar's Masquerade is the answer. The authors weave such a compelling tale that the line blurs between fact and fiction.
This work is not just about Nicholas and Alexandra, the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia. The novel lifts the Grand Duchesses out of the shadowy pages of history books, gives them personalities, and chronicles their development from children into mature young women. Â The reader is provided a different look at the character of the Tsar and the mercurial behavior of his beloved wife. It is in essence a love story, plain and simple, but not the kind one would expect to find in a typical romance novel. It focuses on the overwhelming love Nicholas had for his family and his country and the measures he was willing to take to protect these two great loves.
The Masquerade is the Tsar's plan to save his family and ultimately Russia. The reader will make his own judgements as to whether the Tsar was successful and the authors succeeded in crafting a believeable tale.
