Summary:

"When I Was Czar" by Arthur W. Marchmont is a romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the main character, Harper C. Denver, an American who, due to a chance resemblance to the Czar of Russia, is drawn into a complex web of intrigue and deception. As he navigates a series of unexpected events in the Russian Empire, themes of identity, allegiance, and romance unfold. The opening portion of the novel introduces Harper in St. Petersburg as he reminisces about his past connection with the Czar, which leads him to a grand adventure. He receives an invitation to the Czar's palace and soon finds himself facing a peculiar proposition from Prince Kalkov: to impersonate the Czar in order to thwart the schemes of a dangerous man named Boreski, who is entangled in a plot involving secret documents and a romance with the Duchess Stephanie. Feeling an obligation to repay the Czar for saving his life years ago, Harper is apprehensive yet eager to embrace this extraordinary challenge, setting the stage for the ensuing drama that intertwines with his growing attraction to a mysterious woman named Helga.
