The Romanov Oracle

by Molly Tullis

A standalone historical fantasy novel based on the infamous Anastasia Romanova, with romance and intrigue. When the Romanov Empire was dismantled in flame and firing squad, one name rose to heights above all the Anastasia. During the final years of her family's rule, the near omnipresence of occultish powers drove rumors to a feverish height. But what if the magic was hers? Anastasia Romanova carried Romanov blood, full of magic, once depleted and diminished throughout her family tree over the years. But when it shows up in her as strong as her ancestors, an incident in her childhood forces her family to attempt to drain the magic out of her. The burden grows as her powers become too strong to control, leading Anastasia to try and fight fire with fire... but there's always a price for magic. Mikhail, the enigmatic servant boy who was witness to her very first spell, is forced by her family's advisors to assume the priesthood. After the death of his mother, he becomes the scapegoat for Anastasia's magic and swears revenge on the entire Romanov dynasty. When they're unexpectedly thrown together, they have to decide whether they'll work together or watch each other suffer. There's only one thing the dvoryanstvo and her family never expected. The magic is real and so is the relationship between Mikhail and Anastasia, who are determined to see her powers unleashed. Even if that means everything else burns. "The Romanov Oracle" is an adult fantasy romance that contains graphic violence, swearing, and sex scenes. ★ Forced Proximity

About the author

Molly Tullis would have picked the Phantom of the Opera over Raoul and named her French bulldog Jean Valjean. She only believes in black clothing, red lipstick, and never turns down an iced coffee or tequila. She enjoys writing fantasy, romance, or any genre with an opportunity to insert a dark-haired, morally grey man. Her debut novel, The Romanov Oracle, was inspired by a love of history and a simultaneous desire to rewrite it with more magic.

When not identifying as an author, she identifies as a woman with bangs, finger tattoos, and a nose ring, who can tell you what planets are making you sad.

Her DMs are always open on Instagram and Patreon (@thebibliophileblonde), and you can get information on all upcoming projects at her website.
