Wendington Jones, daughter, friend and adventurer, needed a mystery. Little did she know, she'd find one tending to the roses in the middle of a winter's night. But it was no strange gardener at her house, but instead the supposedly dead Russian monk - Rasputin - on the search for Anastasia Romanov, a young girl, who like Wendington had died under tragic circumstances. And also much like Wendington, the young princess' death had not stuck. And now she was on the run for her life - from history, from Rasputin and from others after her power to seemingly save herself from death.

The Dominos haven't fallen yet and they're willing to kill others to save themselves.
