Amid the violent last days of the glittering Russian monarchy, a
princess on the run finds her heart where she least expects it.
1917, Petrograd. Fleeing the murderous flames of the Russian
Revolution, Princess Svetlana Dalsky hopes to find safety in Paris
with her mother and sister. But the city is buckling under the
weight of the Great War, and the Bolsheviks will not rest until
they have erased every Russian aristocrat from memory. Svetlana and
her family are forced into hiding in Paris's underbelly, with
little to their name but the jewels they sewed into their corsets
before their terrifying escape. Born the second son of a Scottish
duke, the only title Wynn MacCallan cares for is that of surgeon.
Putting his talents with a scalpel to good use in the hospitals in
Paris, Wynn pushes the boundaries of medical science to give his
patients the best care possible. After treating Svetlana for a
minor injury, he is pulled into a world of decaying imperial
glitter. Intrigued by this mysterious, cold, and beautiful woman,
Wynn follows Svetlana to an underground Russian club where drink,
dance, and questionable dealings collide on bubbles of vodka. Out
of money and options, Svetlana agrees to a marriage of convenience
with the handsome and brilliant Wynn, who will protect her and pay
off her family's debts. It's the right thing for a good man to do,
but Wynn cannot help hoping the marriage will turn into one of true
affection. When Wynn's life takes an unexpected turn, so does
Svetlana's-and soon Paris becomes as dangerous as Petrograd. And as
the Bolsheviks chase them to Scotland, Wynn and Svetlana begin to
wonder if they will ever be able to outrun the love they are
beginning to feel for one another. "The Ice Swan is a ray of light
in the middle of a Europe that was sinking into darkness.
Ciesielski's talent for storytelling from the heart is a feast for
the readers' eyes." -Mario Escobar, international bestselling
author of Remember Me and Children of the Stars Adventurous World
War I historical romance For fans of Kate Quinn, Beatriz Williams,
