Snowy Dawn
Set in the cold backdrop of Imperial Russia; Draco Malfoy is next in line to be Czar until he is found guilty of a crime he didn't commit. Angry, bitter and jaded he travels to the small village of Rusketvaya where he meets the beautiful gypsy Hermione and is immediately attracted to her dark, seductive eyes, her olive skin that gleamed in the firelight but most of all to her seductive voice that lament's soulfully, sadly of lost love and princes who die at war, lovers slain and women alone with their children. He is pulled deeply into her gypsy spell, unable to forget her even as he serves out his seven year exile in the harsh lands of Caucasus.
He returns to Saint. Petersburg, furious that it took his court seven years to find out that he was not guilty but now the harsh conditions and the brutal training have taken their toll on him, made him a hardened mercenary who sees the despair that Russia has fallen into; nobles living their lavish life whilst peasants die on the streets hungry.
He also sees the rebellion bubbling; the fury of his people at the incompetent government that his cousin has been running, determined to cure the ailing rule he takes over by overthrowing his cousin but when he sees Hermione years later dancing on the street for coins he hasn't forgotten her but a monarch cannot marry a gypsy! It is blasphemous and the church would never allow it and even if they could be together, the lands people are out for blood.
Can their love survive a revolution? Can their love endure despite the obstacles?
