"As night falls and the wolves prowl, Sophie discovers more than dreams in this crumbling palace of secrets..."

Sophie is a orphaned child, living in London at a boarding school called the "New Bloomsbury College For Young Ladies." She remembered very little of her father and next to nothing about her mother. Sophie feels that she is squashed between her friends; Marianne with her high academic standards and Delphine with her equally high grooming standards.

One day, a mysterious woman comes into the school, demanding that Sophie show her around. Sophie does so and is rather taken aback at this extravagant woman. Soon enough, she somehow got to go to Russia on her school trip with her best friends and that's where the magic begins...

Between mysterious tales and hidden diamonds of the long lost Volkonsky royal generation, Sophie uncovers something she thought would only happen in her most vivid dreams. When the palace's current princess turns on her, how is she to save herself? More importantly, how was she to know that she should've never given over the diamonds?

This book is one of the most enthralling things I've ever read, I felt as if I was really in action when reading it; my posture tense and ready to spring. I found it almost impossible to put this book down! The plot twist shocked me and left a feeling of amazement as I put together all the clues that had been given earlier on in the book. I could read this over and over and still be sitting on the edge of my seat, even if I knew what would happen next off by heart! Teens will definitely enjoy this as much as I did, I'm sure. I give it an eight out of ten and highly recommend that you read it!
