Narrated by: Virtual Voice

As the Russian revolution continues and civil war expands, the young Romanov children flee from the chaos of the new government across Siberia. The White Knight, Captain Kasimir Tupolev, and his team of loyal supporters make their way across a war torn landscape via the Trans Siberian railroad. They rely on the Russian White Army and the retreating Czech Legion to keep the maelstrom of the communist Red Army from capturing them and destroying the nation. And every foot of the way the dreaded Cheka assassins search for the last heir to the throne.

Maxim Petrov takes on the role of the White Hand, head of a league of royalist spies, to undermine the new government and clear the way for the children to escape Russia. He also carries out his promise to preserve the tsar’s legacy by preserving the wealth of the empire. He relocates to London to lead the shadow government there.

During the many months of escape across Siberia, Alexei, the heir to the throne, and his adoring sister Anastasia, grow into young adults who can take on the challenges of this chaotic life and gain survival skills they will need for the new empire. Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok, and finally safety for a time overseas.

Will the entourage reach the safety of a new incognito life in London? Will the dreaded Cheka assassins find them again? Will the Romanov legacy be preserved for the Russian people? This is a continuation of the exciting tale of a family thrown from power and desperate to survive to fight another day.
