About the book
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris is back with the fourth installment in the Gunnie Rose series, where magic is both feared and embraced in an alternate history of the United States.
In this latest release, Lizbeth Rose's half-sister Felicia finds herself entangled in a web of family secrets and power struggles at the prestigious Grigori Rasputin school in San Diego, the capital of the Holy Russian Empire. As a descendant of Rasputin, Felicia plays a crucial role in keeping Tsar Alexei alive with her blood transfusions. However, she is treated as insignificant both at the tsar's bedside and within the school, where her lack of magical abilities sets her apart as a charity case.
When Felicia is abducted outside the school, her true heritage is revealed, painting a picture of a far more complex individual than Lizbeth could have imagined. As her past comes to light and her powers awaken, Felicia becomes a target for those seeking to exploit her abilities. It will take all of her bravery to survive the dangers closing in on her.
