Mystery, suspicion, and intrigue fill the palace of Czar Arlavious.
Why is Czar Dimitri so intent on his son gaining Czarevna Annalina’s hand in marriage?
Who is behind the sudden edict to expel the Jews of Atka?
Is Luka a clone of his father, or does he have the backbone to make his own decisions, especially when his newly-formed friendship with Czarevitch Alik has shown him an entirely different—and so much better—way of rulership?
And throughout all the drama, Devorah, a young orphan from the Jewish community who, through a series of unfortunate events, has been thrust into the role of the Czarevna’s handmaiden, watches silently and wonders…
Can she help out the Jews, in her position at the palace?
Does she have what it takes to save the Jewish people of her town?
…Or will Dimitri’s diabolical plans play out before she even has the chance?
