The Third Section - Russia, 1855
Author: Jasper Kent
 
1855. After forty years of peace in Europe, war rages. In the Crimea, the city of Sevastopol is under siege. To the north, Saint Petersburg is blockaded. But in Moscow there is one who sits and waits - for the death of a tsar, and for the curse upon his blood to be passed to a new generation.
As their country grows weaker, a man and a woman - unaware of the hidden ties that bind them - must come to terms with their shared legacy. 
In Moscow, Tamara Valentinovna Komarova - an agent of the tsar - uncovers a brutal murder. It seems this is not the first death of its kind, but the most recent in a sequence of similar killings committed by one who stalked the city since 1812.
And in the ruins of Sevastopol, Dmitry Alekseevich Danilov confronts not only the guns of the British and French but also another, unnatural enemy: the creatures his father had thought buried beneath the earth, thirty years before.
