This fresh, thrilling take on Anastasia establishes that ONeil is a debut author to watch. --Buzzfeed From debut author Carolyn Tara ONeil comes a thrilling alternate history set during the Russian Revolution. Russia, 1918: With the execution of Tsar Nicholas, the empire crumbles and Russia is on the edge of civil war--the poor are devouring the rich. Anna, a bourgeois girl, narrowly escaped the massacre of her entire family in Yekaterinburg. Desperate to get away from the Bolsheviks, she offers a peasant girl a diamond to take her as far south as possible--not realizing that the girl is a communist herself. With her brother in desperate need of a doctor, Evgenia accepts Annas offer and suddenly finds herself on the wrong side of the war. Anna is being hunted by the Bolsheviks, and now--regardless of her loyalties--Evgenia is too. Daughters of a Dead Empire is a harrowing historical thriller about dangerous ideals, inequality, and the price we pay for change. An imaginative retelling of the Anastasia story.
