From debut author Carolyn Tara O'Neil 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 Anna's 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.
