During the Russian Revolution, seventeen-year-old Lady Natalya Kutepova, the beloved of Tsarevich Alexei Romanov, strives to protect her intended's special Fabergé egg, imbued by Rasputin with magical powers to save the royal family. Commoner Leo first kidnaps Natalya, then tries to help. Although plot improbabilities abound and some details are sloppy, the drama and excitement of the revolution carries the story.
