    A blast to read! 😆

    Ancient chicanery as recorded by rogue scribes and some really subpar copper. A great laugh! 🤣

    Summary

    “It’s so good to see you again,” she breathed, squeezing his hands earnestly.
    “Likewise,” he replied, still unable to fully comprehend her presence in his print shop.
    “And here I thought you would have had something smart to say.”
    “You’ve caught me at a disadvantage, I’m afraid,” he laughed. Beneath his fingertips, he perceived a cool band of scrolling metal encircling one of the fingers on her left hand, inlaid with several small stones. A ring.

    After half a decade apart, James and Sarah unexpected cross paths again at the most inopportune time: on the eve of her wedding to the heir of the Radcliffe family.

    My OTP when I was too young to know what that meant 😆

    Gorgeous prose and a wonderful grasp of the time period. I'm hooked!

    "With a trembling hand, he gently moved the locks of hair that had fallen across her face, pushing them back as she sighed contentedly. He could not believe it had taken this long for him to realize the truth. He was falling in love with her. God help him, he was falling in love with her." James and Sarah through the years.

    Summary

    The Romanov dynasty will not let go of imperial power — even as Russia freezes around them.
    Tsar Alexander II rules an empire struggling toward reform, while his heir, Tsesarevich Runeard, is raised to preserve the Romanov legacy at any cost.
    His son Agnarr grows up in the shadow of violence — groomed to rule, denied choice, and bound to a future planned long before he can understand it. As he is steered toward a crown and a dynastic marriage, history begins to repeat itself with terrible precision.
    But this is not only a story of empire and inheritance. From the Siberian forests of Northuldra comes a power older than Russia itself, and Agnarr’s choices will one day give birth to a daughter who carries that magic in her blood — a child whose awakening will shatter both fairy tale and history alike.
