Daughter of a much declined, highly affectionate St. Petersburg family, Irina Morozova senses death before it comes. Her arcane powers can summon the dead into the world of the living.
Yet that is the least of the pretty aristocrat's worries. When her brothers rise up against the tsar, Irina and her sisters lose their good names, their prospects for marriage, and their limited means. Irina's brothers are sent to Siberia, and Irina resolves to stage her own rebellion, diving into the scandalous margins of St. Petersburg Society, until her abilities come to the attention of the conservative but brilliant Prince Pavel Pozharsky, close confidant of the Emperor. The prince's interest leads to an unexpected proposal that enmeshes Irina in terrifying intrigues and pushes her power to its limits.
About The Tomb and The Stone
Rich in historical detail, drawing gleefully on the humor and ardor of an era rarely chronicled in English, The Tomb and the Stone weaves Slavic lore with Buddhist belief, historical fact with gothic horrors. Following the stirring fates of the Decembrist rebels and their families, the story moves from the stark sensuality of St. Petersburg to the unsung beauties of Siberia's landscapes and indigenous nomad cultures.
A native of the Midwestern US, Newyear grew up in small towns and fading cities, inspired by nature and culture, tradition and radicalism in equal measure. She lived extensively in Russia, traveled alone across Siberia and Mongolia, and learned how the other side of the world related to her home turf. With a doctorate in history and area studies, she has a profound interest in exploring the details and lived experiences of the past, and imagining how those lost moments speak to our collective future.
