St. Petersburg, Russia's Window to the West. Thirteen-year-old tomboy Rian Krieger has run away to Russia to help her uncle and cousin build a railroad for Tsar Nicholas I. But there's a problem: Rian is posing as her uncle's coachman, a boy. The Tsar takes note of Rian's bravery and resourcefulness and asks her (meaning orders her, for a request from the Tsar of All the Russias is, in fact, a command) to spend her days in his palace as companion to Grand Duke Konstantin, his ten-year-old son.
Philadelphia, U.S.A, the Workshop of the World. An economic depression has created massive unemployment and thrown the city into turmoil. Jules Freeman, who fled from slavery eighteen years ago, is a busy man. He struggles to keep his fledgling business afloat. He makes ends meet as foreman at Krieger Coach. His home is a station on the Underground Railroad. Then, he is asked to take on a huge task that intrigues and challenges him.
Book 3 of Rian Krieger's Journey immerses Rian, Jules, their families, friends, and enemies in a history that has been ignored for almost two centuries.
