1766: Catherine has seized the crown of Russia, but with intrigue and subterfuge all around her how long will she be able to wear it? She has invited Europeans to her country with generous promises for a prosperous future. Among the Rhinelanders who respond is Christian, oldest son of the Kehlers, who must leave boyhood behind as ventures into a world of enigmas: the captain’s daughter, a Russian blacksmith, a band of Gypsies and the forbidden girl he can't sweep out of his heart.
Through ten years of her lover’s abuses, betrayals and humiliations, Catherine is a woman—tender, fragile, giving. But as she turns on the rebels and her own serfs, the great Catherine unleashes a different side of herself: unforgiving, chillingly cruel, relentless in her fierce power.
This novel is a powerful portrayal of the very different sides of the great Catherine and the compeling story of Christian and the families who answered Catherine’s call. A provocative tale that readers will remember long after the final page.
