Who is the mysterious NRR, and what is their ultimate purpose?
Russia. A country steeped in rich, bloody history, and one of the strongholds of the Lucian branch. Amy and Dan have left their au pair in Egypt to rush here against the clock in order to find the clue belonging to the Lucians, all the while trying to evade their agents hunting them.
They form a temporary alliance with the Holts because they know they won't be able to get to the clue on time on their own. Kabras have decided to trail the Holts, while Irina Spasky is hot on Amy and Dan's trail.
They have to unravel the history of what happened to the Romanovs, the last imperial Russian family that perished during the time of revolt and hatred against the imperial fist over the peoples of Russia. Could a Romanov child have survived? Was it Alexei or Anastasia? And are they actually a part of the Cahill family? Seem to be Lucians stronghold, after all.
Love how we all expect NRR to be a man. Have to admit, I shared Dan's surprise at the end. But it was a good surprise. But why would Nataliya be helping them? After all, she is pretty high up in the Lucian hierarchy. I hope we find out by the end.
