A Countess From Moscow
A tale of forbidden passion set against the twilight of Imperial Russia.

A tale of forbidden passion set against the twilight of Imperial Russia, ‘A Countess from Moscow’ follows the journey of a young Russian aristocrat whose carefully ordered world begins to unravel in 1913 Moscow.

Beautiful and privileged, Maria Suvorova’s life changes dramatically the day of her very first ball. Maria finds herself drawn into the vibrant world of the Moscow Art Theater. There, she encounters the magnetic actor, Andrei Zurov, whose presence awakens feelings she’s never experienced before.

As Russia teeters on the brink of revolution, Maria must navigate the complexities of first love, family duty, and societal expectations. The story spans from the glittering ballrooms of pre-revolutionary Moscow to the émigré communities of Paris of the roaring 20s weaving together themes of love, loss, identity, and survival.
