announces the new title
LOST EAGLE
The Untold Story of HIH Grand Duchess Tatiana of Russia
by Steven Ingam-Greer
Publication date 25th October 2013
Lost Eagle is an emotional tour de
force. A truly astounding first novel from Steven Ingman-Greer. John Pickering
An
epic drama of world-changing events revealed through the visionary
consciousness of Tatiana, one of the four daughters of the last Russian Tsar,
Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra.
"An
emotional tour de force"
This is Tatiana's story, told through her
diary: from idyllic childhood in the last royal family of Russia, to brutal
imprisonment at the hands of the revolutionaries; from her last-minute escape
and secret exile in England - for which there exists actual historical and
documentary evidence - to her fulfillment in love and eventual tragic fate as
she disappears from history under an assumed name. Within the storyline of
history, Tatiana's passionate and impressionistic diary entries are set
against the gathering storm of the revolution and the ominous indicators of
the Romanov family's impending doom - and against the machinations of the
British establishment which decided her fate.
"The unexpected theme of Pagan religious ecstasy and sacrifice which runs through the story links Tatiana and her sister Olga to the peasant mystic Rasputin" "Against a background of brutal and irrevocable loss, Tatiana's powerful visions and dreams and her sustaining belief in 'the other place' of spiritual survival have great seductive poignancy. A dramatic and passionate rendering of the Russian princess's life"
