Tsar Peter the Great, determined to rule Russia without the church's intervention, gives the diamond to King William of Orange of England on a visit to London's shipbuilding yards and so. with a single stroke, weakens the church's authority in Russia.
King William, aware of the diamond's significance and certain that the Russian Orthodox Church will attempt to steal the diamond back, hides the diamond with a group he calls The Brotherhood. A group of four of the most influential gentlemen in English society.
The date is now 1853. Russian flexes its military might against Turkey. In Victorian London, Russian spies are everywhere and The Brotherhood fights to keep the diamond secret and safe. One of The Brotherhood, William Hunt, has a sister called Isobel. She is a fiery and headstrong young woman who is determined to live her life according to her rules.
She runs away from home and joins a theatrical troupe where she falls in love with the young manager, James Turney. The troupe is a front for smuggling Russians into London who have been sent to find and retrieve the Russian White.
Isobel is caught up in a dangerous situation that brings her into confrontation with her brother, The Brotherhood and even the government as it faces war with Russia.
The Russian White remains a hidden, but very real presence as intrigue, deceit and murder are carried out in its name.
