Anya- that was her name. At least... she thought it was. The ghosts tell her differently.
Anya is a girl that the people of St. Petersburg pity, she is a girl that they fear. She's strange- muttering under her breath, abruptly screaming, but they know little of the monsters that plague her, the specters that haunt her, and how they never leave her alone.
The girl is trapped inside her head for years, with no one brave enough to free her. However, when she catches the eye of a Bolshevik by the name of Gleb Vaganov, things begin to take a turn for the better. The creatures and ghosts disappear when she's around him, and she finally feels safe.
Though, that safety soon becomes threatened after Anya starts to tell him about the horrors in her mind, for those things sound all too familiar to the Bolshevik. Meanwhile, as certain rumors start to fly, the young conman Dimitry might overstep his bounds. Can these people let go of the ghosts of their pasts, or will their demons drive them to a point from which they can't return?

The Paleys (1925-1926) - An Alternate Romanov Story
In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a sinister plot is brewing in the shadows-a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire. As the grand event draws near, more and more people seem determined to make the new reign a short one. While the empire stands on the edge of peril, Princess Natalia Paley becomes ensnared in a dangerous fascination with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk. Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the forces working against them. For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their once-passionate marriage. Irina, struggling with the demands of motherhood and her new life, throws herself into an ambitious project to improve the lives of those under her care-an endeavour that will challenge her in ways she never expected.
