Wendington Jones, daughter, friend and adventurer, needed a mystery. Little did she know, she’d find one tending to the roses in the middle of a winter’s night. But it was no strange gardener at her house, but instead the supposedly dead Russian monk – Rasputin – on the search for Anastasia Romanov, a young girl, who like Wendington had died under tragic circumstances. And also much like Wendington, the young princess’ death had not stuck. And now she was on the run for her life – from history, from Rasputin and from others after her power to seemingly save herself from death.

Wendington and Rohan rush across Europe to give chase to the missing Tsarina. Hoping to save her from Rasputin and old foes of Wendington’s too. The Dominos haven’t fallen yet and they’re willing to kill others to save themselves. Horseraces, masked-balls and diplomatic nights at the opera set the scene where adventure clashes with high society, and it’s not just the fashion that has a cutting edge.
