Summary

A prince torn between duty and desire threads a perilous path through banners and secrets. In the palace’s candlelit rooms, alliances bend and break as Ivan learns that loyalty is a currency paid in trust and risk. A chase through frost-bitten streets, a whispered bargain with forces older than the realm, and a choice that will alter the fate of kin and crown alike—these moments tether him to a defining truth: all power asks a price, and some prices are paid in the heart more than the hand.

Peter Morwood’s Tales of Old Russia sits at a crossroad of fairy-tale bravura and historical recollection, weaving folklore with lush, character-driven scenes. The series stands as a bridge in Morwood’s broader canon between mythic retellings and intimate first-person stakes, offering a lyrical, if briskly paced, exploration of identity and loyalty in a perilous past. It has earned appreciation from fans of traditional Russian folklore and readers seeking immersive, character-centered fantasy.
