Two years after a devastating plane crash left her stranded on a remote island, ballerina Elena Volkov is rescued and returned to a world that has mourned her and moved on. But the woman who returns to Kyiv is not the timid, compliant girl who left. Forged in the crucible of survival with only a King James Bible as a guide, Elena’s faith has been stripped of tradition and rebuilt on the bedrock of Scripture alone.

Her newfound conviction immediately collides with the deep-rooted Orthodox faith of her family, who see her refusal to venerate icons as a betrayal of her culture, her heritage, and her God. Cast into a lonely exile in her own home, Elena reconnects with the other survivors, forming a "digital house church" that spans the globe. From a doctor facing persecution in Karachi to a former football star excommunicated from his Evangelical church in Atlanta, they discover they are all fighting the same battle: the unadorned Word of God versus the powerful traditions of men.

As Elena’s quiet faith begins to draw in other searching souls in Kyiv, she and her small flock must navigate a world of familial heartbreak, intellectual challenges, and the ever-present cost of true discipleship. The Maiden of Ukraine is a story of quiet courage, the profound power of forgiveness, and the unstoppable, unfolding kingdom of God, which is not found in grand cathedrals, but in the simple, revolutionary act of two or three gathered in His name.
