KEY SELLING POINTS
A story which presents the Imperial Romanov family not as doomed and tragic historical figures, but as

their humanity and personalities.
Focussing on the concept of found family and friendship love, a novel which shows how a solid, healthy
group of friends can push an individual to be the best version of themselves.

What if the Romanoffs had survived after the Russian Revolution?

From Ekaterinburg to Askat – Journey Across Russia is an alternative story of the Russian Imperial
Romanov siblings who, surviving the murder attempt on them, set off on an incredible journey to escape,
laughing, learning, suffering, and growing along the way. They will lose their previous way of life, many of their
family and sometimes hope, but in the end, they will gain the most precious of miracles – the strength of
family and friendship. Between jokes, tears, and life or death circumstances, they will get to know themselves
and their friends, forming an unbreakable bond. In the end, family isn’t just blood - it is who you choose to walk
beside you. In this novel, this choice to walk beside and love each other through thick and thin is made by all
the characters.

A story with friendship and family love at its centre. When lonely and lost, one or many friends can light the way
through the darkness. This is the premise at the heart of this tale.

Margherita Selicato was born in Rome and changed from an Italian to an International school in grade 7. The
change shook her world, but thanks to the love and support of her friends and family, she began writing at 13,
and self-translating her first novel, which has already been published in Italian and has won a literary prize. At
18, she now lives in Cork, Ireland, where she is studying as well as continuing her writing.
