EMPERing – Olga Odintsova

On 17th October 1888, a terrible tragedy befell the Imperial Train of Russian Emperor Alexander III.

A young man serving in His Imperial Majesty's Own Chancellery finds himself entwined in a story of a golden ring when he is charged with the task of finding its rightful owner and returning it to her. This is a story of how one absurd coincidence can send ripples through generations of one family’s fate.
