Description
Russia, 1915. A chance encounter with an assassin's bullet changes the course of a young farmer's life forever. Georgy Jachmenev is hailed as a hero and rewarded with a position as bodyguard to Alexei Romanov, the only son of Tsar Nicholas II. As he becomes privy to the inner workings of the royal family, Georgy finds himself at the centre of a drama that will have far-reaching consequences. Sixty-five years later, as Georgy visits his wife Zoya in a London hospital, memories of their life together flood his mind. The weight of the Romanovs' tragic fate hangs over their marriage, a reminder of the brutal events that shaped their lives. This is a story of loyalty, duty, and the enduring power of memory.
