He carries a dangerous secret, but can he
survive long enough to expose it?
Count Dimitri Sokolov has been charged with
overseeing construction of the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, but during
this work, he witnesses an appalling crime, the truth of which threatens the
Russian monarchy. In an effort to silence him, the czar has stripped Dimitri of
his title, his lands, and his freedom . . . but Dimitri has one asset the czar
knows nothing about: his deep and abiding friendship with Natalia Blackstone.
Natalia is the lead analyst for her father's
New York banking empire and manages their investment in the Trans-Siberian
Railway. Her bond with Dimitri has flourished despite the miles between them,
but when Dimitri goes unexpectedly missing, she sets the wheels in motion to
find him. Once they join forces, they embark on a dangerous quest in which one
wrong move could destroy them both.
From the steppes of Russia to the corridors of
power in Washington, Dimitri and Natalia will fight against all odds to save
the railroad while exposing the truth. Can their newfound love survive the
ordeal?

Thoughts:
Written
on the Wind by Elizabeth Camden introduces
readers to the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia in the later stages of the
building. While the story does not actually focus on the building of the
railway, it does involve the people who were active in a horrible situation
that occurred because of the building of this massive structure. If readers are
familiar with the first novel in the Blackstone Legacy, Carved in Stone, then the readers would be familiar with the name
of Natalia, the heroine. This time around, it is her story that readers are
allowed to follow. The romance between Natalia and Dimitri is what starts the
story through telegrams from Russia to New York City. There are moments of
survival through the Russian wilderness through the early winter. There are
moments of high society in New York City. There are moments of life on a farm
in Russia. Plenty of scenery to capture a readers’ attention. The plot tickled
my interest, giving readers an interesting plot centered around the Blackstone
Family. Overall, Written on the Wind
by Elizabeth Camden is an interesting peek into the world of the banking system
and Russian politics. A delightful novel.
