Historical

All that she did was done for love...

Princess Sophia knows nothing of the world before she is taken away to marry Peter III, the heir to the throne of Russia. The Empress Elizabeth changes her name to Catherine and commands her to produce a son, but Peter is incapable of fathering a child. He plays with wooden soldiers while leading the Empire into a long and expensive war. Catherine takes lovers to provide Russia with an heir, keeping silent and to the shadows––until the day Peter is assassinated. Rumors rage that Catherine’s unbridled passion was the reason Peter was murdered.

Embroiled in court intrigue, danger and betrayal, Catherine must do what she can to save her adopted country, her child, and her life.
