Book Synopsis
"Ricochet is an exciting, satisfying fantasy novel."--Foreword Reviews
"[A] royal and delightfully complex adventure." --BooklistHistory got it wrong. I survived. Anastasia Romanov and her younger brother Alexei escape their family's execution when a bullet strikes Anastasia's garnet necklace, transporting them to a parallel universe. This alternate Russia is a second chance. Anastasia wants to save her family, Alexei wants the throne, and they plan to travel the infinite multiverse to find a world in which both are possible. When Alexi is mistaken for the tsarevich of this dimension, he is brought to the Winter Palace, where he eagerly starts impersonating his doppelganger, playing the role that was stolen from him in his own world. To maintain his façade, he must deceive everyone--including Anastasia. Anastasia just needs time to grieve and heal after losing everything that defined her, but Alexei's lies lead her on a journey through the alternate Russia. With rebellion brewing, she is determined to save this world's Romanovs--and Alexei--before they meet the same fate as her own family. For readers who enjoy Anastasia by Sophie Lark, The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye, and Romanov by Nadine Brandes.
