The Romanovs' Final Years Were Far Darker Than History Admits
Sovereign Secrets

They were the most powerful family on earth — and the most doomed. Nicholas II ruled a sixth of the world; his wife, Alexandra, was Queen Victoria's favourite granddaughter. But behind the jewels and the winter palaces, the last imperial family of Russia guarded a secret that would isolate them, deliver them into the hands of a Siberian mystic, and help bring down a three-hundred-year dynasty.
This is the full story of the Romanovs: the forbidden love-match, the hidden disease carried in the blood from Queen Victoria's line, Rasputin's terrible power, the war, the revolution, the captivity — and the century of mystery and science that finally uncovered the truth of what happened to them.
