Background Story
The palace was a gilded cage, and the air smelled of revolution. My father, the Tsar, was blind to the fire rising in the streets. I was Tatiana, the most beautiful of the sisters, destined to die in a basement. But history didn't account for Dimitri. He wasn't just a guard; he was a 'Wolf of the Steppe,' a man with blood that didn't freeze. He pulled me into the alcove as the first windows shattered. "Your Highness," he breathed, his body shielding mine from the world. "Tonight, the Romanov dynasty ends. But *you* survive. Even if I have to kill every Bolshevik in Russia to get you out."
