Vera,​ ​daughter​ ​of​ ​Keshei​ ​The​ ​Deathless​ ​and​ ​Princess​ ​of​ ​a​ ​supernatural​ ​race​ ​known​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Archains, escapes​ ​Sancta​ ​Realm​ ​to​ ​become​ ​a​ ​refugee​ ​on​ ​earth​ ​and​ ​founder​ ​of​ ​Amber​ ​Guild,​ ​a​ ​historical​ ​Russian artifacts​ ​company;​ ​a​ ​facade​ ​necessary​ ​to​ ​hide​ ​a​ ​growing​ ​empire​ ​of​ ​surviving​ ​Archains​ ​and​ ​halfcasts​ ​which she​ ​must​ ​learn​ ​to​ ​rule​ ​over​ ​as​ ​Queen.

​

Vera​ ​finds​ ​herself​ ​hardened​ ​by​ ​the​ ​abandonment​ ​of​ ​Keshei​ ​and​ ​the​ ​betrayal​ ​of​ ​her​ ​former​ ​lover​ ​General Nikolai​ ​during​ ​the​ ​years​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Russian​ ​Revolution​ ​which​ ​masked​ ​a​ ​last​ ​standoff​ ​between​ ​the​ ​Archains and​ ​Guardians:​ ​an​ ​opposing​ ​immortal​ ​race​ ​who​ ​were​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​the​ ​genocide​ ​of​ ​her​ ​people​ ​in Sancta.​ ​She​ ​finds​ ​little​ ​solace​ ​with​ ​her​ ​new​ ​lover​ ​Vadim,​ ​a​ ​halfcast​ ​of​ ​her​ ​own​ ​making​ ​and​ ​as​ ​the continuous​ ​search​ ​for​ ​a​ ​clue​ ​of​ ​her​ ​father’s​ ​return​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​stretch​ ​on​ ​for​ ​eternity,​ ​Vera​ ​feels​ ​lost:​ ​until proof​ ​of​ ​a​ ​surviving​ ​Guardian​ ​descendant​ ​is​ ​discovered​ ​and​ ​Spencer,​ ​a​ ​seemingly​ ​unremarkable university​ ​student​ ​is​ ​thrown​ ​into​ ​a​ ​world​ ​beyond​ ​his​ ​wildest​ ​dreams.

​

The​ ​uncovered​ ​existence​ ​of​ ​Guardians​ ​gives​ ​Vera​ ​a​ ​new​ ​focus​ ​and​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​prove​ ​herself​ ​as rightful​ ​Queen,​ ​however,​ ​thanks​ ​in​ ​part​ ​to​ ​the​ ​betrayal​ ​of​ ​her​ ​father’s​ ​halfcast​ ​double​ ​agent​ ​Rasputin​ ​and her​ ​own​ ​halfcast​ ​creation​ ​Augustina,​ ​Vera’s​ ​world​ ​is​ ​rocked​ ​with​ ​deceit,​ ​betrayal​ ​and​ ​mutiny​ ​as​ ​Vera’s true​ ​desires​ ​as​ ​a​ ​woman​ ​and​ ​Queen​ ​contradict​ ​the​ ​needs​ ​of​ ​her​ ​faction.

 

Toska​ ​is​ ​an​ ​8​ ​x​ ​1​ ​hour​ ​adult​ ​supernatural​ ​drama​ ​which​ ​merges​ ​real​ ​world​ ​history​ ​with​ ​Russian mythology​ ​and​ ​supernatural​ ​beings,​ ​similar​ ​to​ ​​The​​ ​​Originals​​ ​and​ ​​American​ ​Gods.

"Though​ ​anchored​ ​in​ ​the​ ​drama​ ​of​ ​ambition,​ ​love​ ​triangles​ ​and​ ​vengeance,​ ​Toska​ ​serves​ ​as​ ​a platform​ ​of​ ​historical​ ​and​ ​mythological​ ​revelation,​ ​exploring​ ​the​ ​effects​ ​of​ ​globalisation​ ​and showcasing​ ​the​ ​deepest​ ​and​ ​darkest​ ​of​ ​human​ ​instincts​ ​and​ ​behaviour"
