In 1914 Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, the nineteen-year-old eldest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia, sails to England to meet her cousin Edward, Prince of Wales, generally known as David, as a possible husband. She arrives just as war is about to break out between England and Germany, and is unable to return to her family. Is there any alternative to her destiny as the bride of the future King of England?
