1918, Russia. The Bolshevik revolution has succeeded in overthrowing the Romanov family as the kings of Russia. The royal family is dead, executed late in the night, securing the Bolshevik's hold on the country. With no Romanovs to challenge them, the country has gone to the Communists. Or has it? St. Petersburg, 1922. Anastasia Romanov, the last surviving Romanov, lived through the night that killed her family. And now, she's gaining her revenge: with the help of loyalist troops, she's taking over the country and restoring herself to the throne. And she sweeps Sasha Kozlov, a sharpshooter in the Red Army, right into it after taking St. Petersburg and giving him a choice: join her and betray the things he stands for, or be executed.
