Combining stunning writing with a keen talent for storytelling, Robert Alexander uncovers more of the compelling Romanov drama and intrigue for his many readers and all fans of historical fiction.

When tsarist soldiers fire at a group of peaceful village protestors and kill his young bride, Pavel dedicates his life to overthrowing the Romanovs. Pavel's underground group assassinates the Grand Duke, changing the life of the Grand Duchess Elisavyeta forever.

Grief-stricken, Elisavyeta gives up her wealth and becomes a nun dedicated to the poor people of Russia. When revolution finally sweeps Russia, she is the last Romanov captured, ripped from her abbey in the middle of the night and shuttled to Siberia. It is here, in a distant wood on a moonlit eve, that Pavel is left to decide her fate.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] robust historical....The author's extensive knowledge of Russia allows him to invigorate the narrative with telling details that bring the aristocrat Ella, who eventually became an Orthodox saint, convincingly to life....this is a compelling journey through momentous events that wraps up with a fine, deeply moving finale." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Read !

A wonderful historical novel that opens a new way of understanding the historical events that led up to the Russian revolution of 1917. Good readers

Extraordinary and Compelling Book: The Romanov Bride

I recommend this book to all who have interest in not only the history of the time period of the 1800’s revolutions of Russia but also the deep painful transformation of humanity here in Earth; the consciousness and treatment of those people who are seen as above the rest and the consciousness and lives of those people who live as less than those above them.
The story of Elizabeth Romanov is beautifully written and preformed. A must read in knowing what roads lead to utter distraction and which road leads to human awakening.

Fantastic!

Very engrossing, and the performances by both actors are superb. Really one of the best books I have listened to in a long time. Might be one of my new favorite books.

Excellent historical novel.

I love this book. My family is Russian but this was a whole side of the revolution that I knew nothing about. I love historical novels that are well researched like this one.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE - EXCELLENT!

After reading numerous books on the Romanovs, this book gave a whole new view of the final years of the Russian dynasty. The story of Grand Duchess Elisavyeta eclipses the dozens of books focusing on the weak last Csar Nikolas and his delusional consort Alexandra, Elisavyeta sister. If she'd been the Csarina, Imperial Russia might have had a chance for survival. An amazing woman! What enhances this audiobook are the narrators who breathe life into the two main characters. Stefan Rudnicki gives Pavel so many dimensions with his believable, sympathetic, and moving Russian accent while Gabrielle de Cuir's Elisavyeta has a soft strength which draws the reader into her suffering and triumphs. Well-researched and entertaining. I would love it Robert Alexander would do more in the Russian history genre.
