Princes and Peasants

The Tsar's Dragons series follows the epic tale of nineteenth-century industrialist John Hughes who founded a city on the Russian steppe. For people like Hughes’ right-hand man Glyn Edwards who has found love in a new country and Anna Parry a Welsh orphan who has found fulfilment working in Hughesovka’s hospital the city is a chance to build a new life but fresh arrivals from their hometown threaten the peace and stability of that new existence. Meanwhile for ambitious Russians like Alexei Beletsky the city offers a chance to change their homeland for the better.
