No Greater Crown

1914, and the intense shadows of an unexpectedly fiery summer that is burning up the whole of Europe are hiding beneath them the darker shadows of the war to end all wars. And these shadows, in turn, are concealing the darkest shadows of them all - those predicting a violent revolution that will draw to a shocking close the Romanov dynasty in Russia that will devour its children.Meanwhile, Empress Alexandra, always more focused on what is happening right there in her boudoir, is more concerned about the possibility of a palace coup, as she suspects that her disconcertingly uppity bosom companion, Anya Vyroubova, is intent on playing more games than just tennis with her increasingly distracted husband, Tsar Nicholas II.All six volumes are (planned) as follows:1.
