Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Son of the Czar: An Historical Romance
Otherwise our dear prince would shift and twist and Change hue according to his wont. Though be by no means inclines to feed on light and air, he has all the other qualities of the chameleon. And the greater the peril of delay and of losing sight of him when he is once caught. Well, let us hope his father's abrupt method of aiming at the centre of the target may not scare the young gentle man out of his wits. Leaving the main point, then, this is an unfortunate day for his highness to be impressed by the beauties of Petersburg.
