Challenging Destiny: The Untold Story of Anastasia

In 1917, Bolshevik revolutionaries stormed the Russian palace of the Romanovs and killed the entire family—or maybe. There is much conjecture over the remains of the spirited youngest daughter, Anastasia. Many believe she survived and lived a full life in secret. Could it be true? Could the little girl have survived the massacre?

Challenging Destiny is a fictional account of lone royal survivor, Anastasia. The story spans three continents and a century of death, destruction, and despair—but also reveals the strength it takes to overcome obstacles in life. Anastasia finds love and romance, even as she seeks to escape the memory of her family’s horrific assassination and humankind’s yearning for power.

The far-reaching influence of Queen Victoria comes into question as part of the Anastasia mystery. Across the world, no one is what he or she seems. The story of the Romanov grand duchess is filled with intrigue and danger, yet love and the human spirit can be victorious over the most horrendous memories.
