The Tsar's Dragons is an epic historical trilogy based on the true story of John Hughes, a Merthyr born, illiterate Welshman, who founded Russia's iron industry on the Ukrainian steppe. In 1869 Tsar Alexander II invited John Hughes to build an ironworks in Russia. Not everyone welcomes the Tsar s plans. Count Nicholas Beletsky sells John his land, although he abhors industry and disowns his son, Alexei when he discovers his ambition to become an engineer. The Jews, in the shtetl, doubt that progress will halt the persecution of their race. The Cossacks lease John their primitive coal mines but John ships in experienced ironworkers and miners from Wales, some, like brother and sister Richard and Anna Parry, in the hope of escaping their past. Will they, and John's right-hand man Glyn, find the peace and riches they seek in John's visionary new town?
