As she sets about investigating the legitimacy of his claim through a winding path of romance and deception, the ghosts of her own past begin to haunt her. Lena, a servant in the imperial Russian court of 1902, is approached by the desperate Empress Alexandra. After conceiving four daughters, the Empress is determined to sire a son and believes Lena can help her. Once elevated to the Romanov's treacherous inner circle, Lena finds herself under the watchful eye of the meddling Dowager Empress Marie. Charlotte, a former ballerina living in World War II occupied Paris, receives a surprise visit from a German officer. Determined to protect her son from the Nazis, Charlotte escapes the city, but not before learning that the officer's interest in her stems from his longstanding obsession with the fate of the Russian monarchy. Then as Veronica's passion intensifies, and her search for the true heir to the throne takes a dangerous turn, the reader learns just how these three vastly different women are connected. The Secret Daughter of the Tsar is thrilling from its first intense moments until its final, unexpected conclusion. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 345). 600 30 $a Romanov, House of $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women historians $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Alexandra, $c Empress, consort of Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, $d 1872-1918 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Russia $x Children $x Children $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Russia $x History $y Nicholas II, 1894-1917 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 655 0 $a Alternative histories (Fiction) 941 $a 13 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924013149.0 952 $l ARPC277 $d 20210217010720.0 952 $l XIPA157 $d 20200414011120.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204071755.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110053717.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006073547.0 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718023357.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717022612.0 952 $l DSPA413 $d 20180627015620.0 952 $l LBPB837 $d 20161217010917.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160602015551.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20160301010222.0 952 $l ACPD686 $d 20140109010422.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CCFFB8C438411E39246D9B8DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
