The book is dedicated to the fate of Charles Sidney Gibbs, one of the three educators of the children of Emperor Nicholas II. He gained access to the inner world of the family of the holy Royal Martyrs. Serving as a housemaster and English teacher, Gibbs won their affection and trust and shared with them the dark days of captivity. The ten years he spent close to the Royal Family changed the course of his life, and, returning home to England, he devoted the rest of his days to the Orthodox faith, which he learned about while living at the Royal Court. In working on the book, Mrs. Benag used letters and documents , kept in the Gibbs collection of papers in England, as well as personal meetings with the late George (George), the adopted son of Nicholas's (Gibbs) father, and with his other surviving friends and acquaintances. She followed his entire path, fraught with exciting adventures, from England to Russia, to Siberia, to China, to the Philippines, to Jerusalem, after which he returned to his homeland, Great Britain. The author provides documents relating to Gibbs's life in England as an Orthodox priest and then archimandrite and showing his role in the construction of the Orthodox Church in Oxford and the strengthening of Orthodoxy in England.
