From the author of the international bestseller Tully comes an epic tale of passion, betrayal, and survival set in World War II Russia. In 1941 Leningrad, the city’s former grandeur contrasts sharply with the harsh realities of Stalin's regime. Sisters Tatiana and Dasha Metanov live in a cramped apartment with their family, but when Hitler invades, the siege transforms their already difficult lives into a fight for survival. Amidst this chaos, Tatiana encounters Alexander, a Red Army officer whose confidence and hidden past intrigue her. As relentless winter and the German blockade grip the city, the Metanovs face increasingly desperate circumstances. With bombs falling and food scarce, Tatiana and Alexander's love blossoms, threatening her family's stability and exposing his dangerous secret—one that could be as destructive as the war itself. Caught between two deadly forces, they navigate a tumultuous history that reshapes the modern world. Mesmerizing from the first page to the breathtaking conclusion, this story illuminates the indomitable spirits of two lovers whose profound connection endures amidst the devastation of war.

The never-before-told story of the journey behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN, now in print for the first time. From the author of the celebrated, internationally bestselling BRONZE HORSEMAN saga comes a glimpse into the private life of its much loved creator, and the real story behind the epic novels. Paullina Simons gives us a work of non-fiction as captivating and heart-wrenching as the lives of Tatiana and Alexander. Only a few chapters into writing her first story set in Russia, her mother country, Paullina Simons travelled to Leningrad (now St Petersburg) with her beloved Papa. What began as a research trip turned into six days that forever changed her life, the course of her family, and the novel that became THE BRONZE HORSEMAN. After a quarter-century away from her native land, Paullina and her father found a world trapped in yesteryear, with crumbling stucco buildings, entire families living in seven-square-metre communal apartments, and barren fields bombed so badly that nothing would grow there even fifty years later. And yet there were the spectacular white nights, the warm hospitality of family friends and, of course, the pelmeni and caviar. At times poignant, at times inspiring and funny, this is both a fascinating glimpse into the inspiration behind the epic saga, and a touching story of a family's history, a father and a daughter, and the fate of a Nation.

They were ready for anything ... except the end. The must-read conclusion to Paullina Simons' epic End of Forever saga.
