Ekaterinburg, Russia: 16 luglio 1918. Mentre l'Armata Bianca avanza verso la città, Nicola II e la sua famiglia sono prigionieri dei bolscevichi. La speranza di salvezza dello zar svanisce quando i Romanov vengono giustiziati. Mosca, oggi. Dopo la caduta del comunismo, il popolo russo decide di ripristinare la monarchia, con una commissione che sceglierà un nuovo zar tra i discendenti di Nicola II. Miles Lord, un avvocato di Atlanta esperto di cultura russa, viene inviato a sostenere la rivendicazione di Stefan Baklanov. Tuttavia, le sue ricerche potrebbero cambiare il destino della Russia. Un anziano professore lo avvicina, rivelandogli l'importanza di documenti ritrovati, tra cui una profezia di Rasputin sulla scomparsa e rinascita della dinastia Romanov. Miles diventa anche il bersaglio di un gruppo di criminali intenzionati a manipolare la scelta del nuovo sovrano. La sua unica salvezza è trovare il vero successore di Nicola II, seguendo messaggi enigmatici e indizi criptici, ricostruendo la tragica fine della famiglia imperiale russa. Forse, quella notte di luglio del 1918, a Ekaterinburg, non tutte le tracce del sangue Romanov si sono disperse per sempre.

They met as children, innocents from two different worlds. And from that moment their lives were fated to be forever entwined. Timothy : Abandoned at birth, he finds a home--and a dazzling career--within the Catholic Church. But the vows he takes cannot protect him from one soul-igniting passion. Daniel : The scholarly son of a great rabbi, he is destined to follow in his father's footsteps. And destined to break his father's heart. Deborah : She was raised to be docile and dutiful--the perfect rabbi's wife--but love will lead her to rebellion. And into world's the patriarch would never dare imagine. Reaching across more than a quarter of a century, from the tough streets of Brooklyn to ultramodern Brasilia to an Israeli kibbutz, and radiating the splendor of two holy cities, Rome and Jerusalem, here is Erich Segal's most provocative and ambitious novel to date--the unforgettable story of three extraordinary lives...and one forbidden love.

The Young Lions is a vivid and classic novel that portrays the experiences of ordinary soldiers fighting World War II. Told from the points of view of a perceptive young Nazi, a jaded American film producer, and a shy Jewish boy just married to the love of his life, Shaw conveys, as no other novelist has since, the scope, confusion, and complexity of war.
