In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped. Though many disbelieved, for some this would prove to be more than a rumor and it would change their lives forever. Annalisa Peterson, a senior in high school, is dying to get out and move as far away from her family as possible. Not that she has had a rough childhood, but she wants to get away from constantly being expected to be the perfect A student and consistently having to visit her great grandmother who doesn't seem to like her, and oh yeah, doesn't speak a word of English. One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.

At the tender age of five, she claims to see a man who she called her guardian angel. Her family thought of it as an imaginary friend that would soon disappear once she grew older. To their dismay, the 'angel' never left. Soon, Felicia's friends would want to meet this man that she always talked about, but she would say, only she could see him. Next thing she knew, rumors spread and her so called friends tormented her through the years till her family couldn't take it anymore and sent her away. Now Felicia, sixteen and broken, is trapped in a highly secured mental hospital. There's no escape and feels that her hopes of ever leaving is just a small, pathetic fairy tale. Yet, in the depths of human sanity, reality is breaking. All those myths and beliefs of demons aren't just stories that children love to be scared of. Maybe, that little angel of hers is more real than the human heart. And maybe, her angel isn't the only thing that other humans don't see.
