the long version

When you think you know what history has shown you, look at it again through another pair of eyes. In 1924, for anthropologist Oksana Dimitriova, this means delving deeper than her life and all that Russia's university scholars have taught her. With Lenin dead, Stalin's powerful dictatorship has unfolded a cataclysmic ripple of destruction that spreads across the Caucasus Mountains into Georgia. The discovery of a 4th century B.C. priestess-warrior will take Oksana on a journey to find the warrior woman's descendants amid the chaos and evils of her nation's politics.
