The Dawn of Eternal Winter
Saint Petersburg, 1905. Amid civil unrest, Margarita boards the train to Paris, escaping the claws of the Russian Empire's ruthless regime. At war with its neighbours, her homeland collapses, leaving millions of broken lives in its wake. Recounting her past to the woman who saved her, Rita takes the readers to the icy gates of Siberia, the colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral, and the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy of the book. I leave this review voluntarily.
Wow. This book was amazing. I couldn't put it down.
I was hooked from the first page, with the writing, the history and the plot. There were twist and turns and OMG moments. The characters were well written and you really fell for the main character. The Queer rep was great to see, especially in the book set in 1903.
Poor Margo. She went through a lot :(
I can't wait for book two!
