And will she and her family survive a dangerous new threat?
As a Nation Battles for Its Future, a Young Woman Struggles
to Find a Way to Hope and Love in the Midst of Tragedy and
Heartache.
Though she is the daughter of a princess and a count, Mariana has
grown up as a peasant girl in an obscure village. Suddenly she
finds herself thrust into elite society and must take her rightful
place as an aristocrat. But Mariana wants to do something more
meaningful with her life. Trained as a nurse, she refuses the easy
life of a Russian socialite and goes to the front lines in
Manchuria to care for the wounded soldiers.
There she is confronted with the horrible realities of war. And she
discovers something else--a renewal of her relationship with
American reporter Daniel Trent. But Daniel betrayed her trust once
before . . . is it safe to trust him now?
Back in St. Petersburg, revolutionary forces are gaining momentum
in their quest for freedom--a quest that will certainly end in
bloodshed. And one man, bent on an old revenge, plots to kill
Mariana and everyone she loves.
