Anastasia "Stacey" Alexandra Yekaterina Romanova (nee Feodorovna in New York) has lived in Manhattan, New York for as long as she could remember. She knew nothing about her past, or having royal ties with the infamous Russian royal family. She had no idea that she was related to the last Romanov rulers until her mother declared her true identity just a few weeks after her seventeenth birthday. She reluctantly agrees to visit her grandmother and attend an entirely new school for the rest of the year. While attending Arcadia Prep, Stacey runs into the Seventh Crown Prince of England, Geoffrey Windsor, who eagerly escorts her to her first class of the day. She finds herself immediately catching feelings for Geoffrey. But when she learns that Geoffrey already had an obnoxious girlfriend, Dauphine Vivienne Anjou of France, he tells Stacey that he's ready to break up with her, despite the consequences he knew if the duo called quits. Stacey gets scared when she finds out what he'll break up with her at some point after she got a strange warning from her past relatives. Stacey finally learns to ignore the Romanov's warning when Geoffrey asks if she would like to visit Windsor. She agrees, and they go to Windsor together. There, Stacey forms a bond with George, Charlotte, and Louis. She forms an even stronger bond with the adult royals. Stacey, Geoffrey, and their friends must navigate their way through High School, royal duties, jealousy, and threats (mostly aimed at Geoffrey). An unexpected attack occurs just hours after Queen Elizabeth's funeral was over, leaving everyone in shock. Stacey promises herself to get revenge on the person who had threatened to end Geoffrey's life. thank you @NoelleAnn397 for the gorgeous cover!

Following the Grand Ducal Coup of 1917, Russia embarks on a tenuous path to recovery. Grand Duke Michael, acting as regent for the young Tsar Alexei II, has granted autonomy to various regions and overseen a gradual economic revival. Yet, a shadow hangs over the future. The young Tsar has just recovered from a severe haemophilia episode and, although advances in medicine seem to be promising for his condition, voices within the family are questioning his rightful place as Tsar of Russia. Meanwhile, in Paris, the exiled members of the Bolshevik party feel that the chance of achieving their long-awaited revolution is slipping away. Russia's prosperity has damaged their cause and their leader, Vladimir Lenin is fading away after a series of strokes. The race to occupy his place is on and is feverous, but Grigory Zinoviev has a more subtle approach. He intends to use an unexpected connection to the Ballets Russes, Russia's most avant-garde ballet company and long supported by Grand Duke Paul, to find his way into the imperial family and damage it from within. As for the Paleys, Grand Duke Paul's morganatic family, they are fully settled in Russia. Prince Vladimir Paley continues his work as a professor of Russian Literature at the Corps des Pages and accepts the position of tutor to Grand Duke Michael's two children, Tata and George. Princess Irina Paley is living a fairytale romance with Prince Feodor Alexandrovich, but she'll have to make a difficult choice between love and her own personal ambitions. Princess Natalia, known for her artistic spirit, finds herself drawn to a captivating ballet dancer. However, her unconventional passions could spark unforeseen consequences for both her and the Empire.
