Russia, 1917 Petrograd is on the eve of revolution. For Countess Sophia Orlova, the city of her childhood - the only home she has ever known - has become her deadly enemy. The mob are ready to get rid of anyone connected to the old regime, including Sophia. When rebels threaten to shoot Sophia and her husband, they are saved by Nikolai, a fervent supporter of the revolution. Determined to help Nikolai' s cause, Sophia sets up a hospital wing in the house, nursing injured victims by his side. Her kindness has captured Nikolai' s heart, but their burgeoning romance is forbidden. With battle lines drawn between the new and the old, both their lives are in danger. . . Will their love be strong enough to overcome the horrors of war? From the bestselling author of Sisters of War comes a heart-wrenching novel of lovers trapped on the opposite sides of a terrifying political conflict, loss, and sacrifice.

Lana Kortchik grew up in two opposite corners of the Soviet Union - a snow-white Siberian town and the golden-domed Ukrainian capital. At the age of sixteen, she moved to Australia with her mother. Lana and her family live on the Central Coast of NSW, where it never snows and is always summer-warm, even in winter. She loves books, martial arts, the ocean and Napoleonic history. Her short stories have appeared in many magazines and anthologies. She was the winner of Historical Novel Society Autumn 2012 Short Fiction competition and the runner-up of 2013 Defenestrationism Short Story Contest.
