The book tells about the life of Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich Romanov, brother of the last Russian emperor, passion-bearer Nicholas II.

The author strives to show the reader an amazing example of the spiritual world of a deeply religious and noble man, an honest officer and a brave warrior. An extraordinary love story of the prince for his only chosen one is revealed to us – his wife Natalya Sergeevna Sheremetevskaya.

The book allows the reader to experience the attractive image of an unusually whole and pure person, hidden until this day, who suffered martyrdom at the hands of the God-fighting Bolsheviks on the night of June 12-13, 1918.

This story takes on special significance in connection with the canonization of Mikhail Alexandrovich as a new martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia in 1981 and the study of the inclusion of his name in the Council of New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church.
