It's a...Reverse Harem
It’s the story. . .
The legend. . .
The mystery that everyone knows and loves.
And now it’s retold for RH.
On a fateful night in December 1917, the Romanov monarchy was destroyed.
Tsar Nicholas was forced to abdicate the throne and the royal family was put under house arrest.
If you were of royal blood, there was no escape from the dissidence of the people.
But one Romanov managed to get away.
Anastasia- the Tsarevna, or Tsar’s youngest daughter.
Disguised, Anastasia plays a dangerous game between The Red Army and The White Army to find her family and free them.
But when four men from both sides recognize her, she fears that she’ll never be able to save her family.
Or even herself.
The Russian Civil War is tearing apart her homeland.
And these men are determined to rip her to pieces along with it.
Are they friends or foes?
Can Anastasia trust them to help her rescue her family in time or is this her dasvidaniya?
Warning: This story is a reverse harem retelling of Anastasia and contains sexual content and language only suitable for readers 18+. Please note that this is not a historically accurate recounting of the actual woman, but does use factual dates pertaining to her and this time period.
Let's start this off with me telling you that Anastasia is one of my all-time favorite princess movies to ever be made.
Like, I like it way better than most Disney princesses.
The story, the songs, the characters. EVERYTHING.
This book is not like that. LOL.
I've researched the Romanov family a little because of my obsession and this book follows more closely to factual, though there are significant changes.
With all that said, I enjoyed the book.
There are a few things personal wise that I wasn't a fan of, but those didn't effect my review.
Anastasia is a strong-willed woman in this book and does what she thinks is in her best interests.
And luckily, that demeanor is what allowed her to escape that fateful night her family was captured.
But it isn't long until she realizes that things are far worse than she ever thought possible and help is something she needs to save her family.
Told from multiple points of view.
We, of course, get Anastasia, but also those in her harem.
Ilya.
Vadim.
Zavid.
Maksim.
Dmitiri.
We also get some MMF scenes, so if that isn't your thing, be prepared.
Then we get a time jump and a POV from future generations.
Overall, I enjoyed the book.
It was a great spin on a classic tale.
Would definitely recommend.
