Publisher's Synopsis
A fascinating retelling of the Rasputin story... In the early 1890's, in a small village in Siberia, a young man grows up with the phenomenal ability to see unknown things - and also to seduce any woman he desires. When a pilgrimage to Greece does not settle him, he makes his way to St. Petersburg, where word spreads of his ability to heal sick and injured people. Eventually, Gregory Rasputin is accepted into the royal household as a trusted friend and indespensable aide to the Tsar's young son, Alexis - where he is perfectly placed to make good use of his talents...
