Summary
The Challenge. A rite of passage that every Kirkland had gone through, born from an old Fae tradition their ancestors had brought with them. Every single member of the clan, upon their twenty-first birthday, had released a challenge – unique to themselves and incredibly personal – that must be fulfilled in order to win their hand in marriage. And without fail, every Kirkland who’d found a spouse through their Challenge remained married, loyal, and happy until their death.
It was the very reason Ivan was here, having chased rumors and whispers and stories across the sea to get where he was.

“If you are attempting to creep up on me, I would not consider that wise, да?”
Or

Summary
"Are you familiar with the painting done by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam?" Alfred had written to his Russian friend. "I look at a globe, and that is what I imagine when I see the fingers of Russian America reaching out towards you. I imagine those could be my fingers, and we could be separated only by the Bering Sea."
And Mr. Braginsky had said, "I would like that very much, Mr. Jones."
And the American government said, "SOLD!"
