My name is Anastasia.... The history books say I died.... They don’t know the half of it.
Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before.
Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her.
That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad...and he’s on the other.

Critic reviews
"Jessica Ball narrates a reimagining of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. In this fantasy, set during the Russian Revolution, the youngest daughter of the last tsar is a spell master who may be her family's only hope for salvation. Ball manages to portray a plethora of emotions - from Nastya's petulance at her family's ongoing imprisonment to her longing and desire for Zash, a Bolshevik soldier who is guarding the family with whom she's having a hidden romance. Later, listeners feel her rage over the assassination of her family and her own murder by Zash. Ball's strong use of accents and varied voices, especially those of the young tsarevich and the older leader of the army, add to a story that will appeal to fans of romance and historical fiction.” (AudioFile magazine)
