Even now in 2012, one of the greatest mysteries has been the fate of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov of Russia, the last of four daughters born to the Tsar Nikolas and his wife Alexandra. After the tragic execution of the Russian Royal family in1918, officials were never able to recover the remains of Anastasia. Tales of her supposed escape from Russia have gripped thousands for decades, fueling speculation that a daughter of Russia’s last sovereign ruler survived the revolution that destroyed her immediate family.

About the Book:
IN A TIME OF RASPUTIN'S MAGIC AND ROMANOV MYSTERY, A YOUNG GIRL FINDS HERSELF AT THE HEART OF THE ROYAL FAMILY
She was an orphan, ushered into the royal palace on
the prayers of her majestry. Yet, decades later, her time spent in the
embrace of the Romanovs haunts her still. Is she responsible for those
murderous events that changed everything?
If only she can find the heir, maybe she can put
together the broken pieces of her own past-maybe she can hold on to the
love she found. Bursting to life with the rich and glorious marvels of
Imperial Russia, The Last Romanov is a magical
tale of second chances and royal blood.

I think it would be pretty darn cool if she survived, but who knows.
Well, I am a romantic so I am hoping that she survived but the odds were not good.
I think this book looks so awesome! :) I'm so interested in this part of history, its just so bizarre and wild really.
I think she is dead but it would be great if she survived.
I think she died like the stories say...but it's very sad. One can always hope!
I always have liked the idea she somehow survived...I remember hoping Anna Anderson would be found to be her :(
I have no idea what happened to Anastasia. I hate to say it, but odds are that she's dead.
I'm guessing she died
