Publisher Description

Anastasia is the princess no one needs: the fourth daughter born to an emperor without a son, and the only royal lacking a magical gift.

Until she collides with a young Cossack rebel, changing both their lives forever.

Damien is taken from everything he knows and raised as a ward of the Romanovs.

Anastasia develops a strange kind of magic shared only by the Black Monk Rasputin.

While her power grows in secret, boosted by forbidden contact with Damien, Anastasia makes a mistake with terrible consequences.

Fate grants her a single chance to set it right… but saving what she lost may cost everything she loves.

The Lark Notes:
I think what captivates us about Anastasia is our dream of what could have been. Anastasia’s death was so tragic, I wanted to give her another life.

This book is not a retelling of any other Anastasia story. It’s set in 1919 in a world similar to ours, but with magic. My next series will be a vampire family saga set in the modern version of that same world.

This is my fantasy of the happy ending Anastasia deserved. Not because she was a Romanov, but because she was a human. I want all of you to have the happy ending you deserve – it’s why I love writing romance. --Sophie

“Anastasia” is an epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. It is intended for mature readers and contains spicy scenes not suitable for all.

“I was completely hooked by the first half of Anastasia by Sophie Lark. While some readers felt it was too slow, I really enjoyed the pace. The writing was beautiful, the atmosphere was immersive, and the author took the time to develop deep, interesting characters. I also loved the music choices at the beginning and thought they were a nice touch. But then, unfortunately, it felt like the book lost its way. I think the major plot changes made sense and contributed to the progression of the story. However, the romance that started as a beautiful subplot in this historical fantasy got too dominant. It started to feel a bit cheesy and overly spicy for my taste. This shift also caused the characters to lose some of their depth. That said, the book is well-researched and historically accurate. Some of the details, like the references to Anna Pavlova, were lovely and really touched me as a ballet dancer. The author did an amazing job giving Anastasia a much more hopeful fate than history allowed, and I loved how it all wrapped up. In the end, this book had such a strong start for me, but I was left feeling a bit disappointed. I’d still recommend it to those who have an interest in Russian history, or the story of the Romanov family.”
