Description
Duty is calling…
Old Russia is fractured. Tsars live in kremlins across the great country, each raising a new generation to continue their legacy.
Prince Ivan has finally come of age. He and his older sisters are prized assets for marriage – alliances must be forged, and quickly, for the good of the kingdom.
However, his sisters are strong-willed. They know what they want in a husband. And none of the suitors have made the cut.
As enemies circle their tsardom, the leader will not force his offspring to marry against their will.
But dangers looms…
Soon, the tsardom will be turned on its head.
A magical force enters the fray in the form of a mighty falcon. But all is not as meets the eye…
This falcon is a man, a shape-changer. His power and charm are relentless, making him a valuable ally in the wars that are sure to come.
Ivan is feeling the pressure. He must produce an heir himself, and secure the succession of the bloodline. He must go journeying to find his true path.
But before Ivan leaves, each of his new brothers-in-law leaves him with the same cryptic warning: Beware Koshchey the Undying.
