One Russian night in 1934, Marya and Georgi's parents disappear. Despite high risks, Katya and Misha had spoken against the government. The children, alone and desperate, fear the worst. Will they ever see their parents again? But all it takes is one crumpled letter to give Marya and Georgi hope and send them on a dangerous mission to reunite their family. They must steal away in the dark of night, escape the city, and find passage to the great Siberian wilderness. And even then, if they succeed in getting away, their journey will have only just begun. In this companion novel to her breathtaking Russian epic Angel on the Square, National Book Award winning author Gloria Whelan takes readers on a remarkable journey that is both perilous and transforming.

Mr Kakoulides tells the story of a shepherd and his sheep who embarks on Impossible Journey

From the dying lips of an old Druid, a prophecy was given to Masada. It was a look into the future of his yet unborn child. “One day your son will become a great leader even someday a king”. The child was a son and now nineteen years later he was a man. It was a time of change; the Romans had long gone and the vacuum left behind created chaos. The year was 450AD, the year Britannia became a magnet for those who wished to abandon a war-ravaged Europe. Saxons took over the south, Angles settled in the north east, the Celtic tribes ruled the western hills and the Britons became strangers in their own land. Against this turbulent background, one man took upon himself an impossible journey. One that began with a marriage to a beautiful princess and ended with the saving of a nation.
