The world has long been fascinated with the compelling characters and cataclysmic events surrounding the end of the 300-year Romanov dynasty of Russia: * The mystical (and some say mythical) Rasputin and his influence on the teenaged Alexei, the heir * The passionate love affair between Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra * The four lovely Romanov daughter (OTMA): Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia * World War I and the Communist Revolution of 1917 Few books have touched on what was the greatest secret of the age; tsarevich Alexei's curse of hemophilia, "The Royal Disease." Entwined in this tale of incalculable wealth and global dominance is the enigmatic and magnetic Rasputin - peasant and holy man. Medical doctors could not help Alexei. Only Rasputin had the power to stop the flow of blood. Was he a saint or sinner? Alexei & Me gives a face, a personality and a soul...to the boy who carried on his small frame two impossible burdens - heir and hemophiliac. Taken from first person historical accounts, Alexei & Me is a novel about the boy whose murder changed the course of the world.
