St. Petersburg, Russia, 1890
Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, wants to be
known as a doctor, not a necromancer. But Tsar Alexander III
forbids women to attend medical school; his interest in
Katerina extends only to her ability to raise the dead.
Twice now, Katerina has helped him by using her power to
thwart the forces of darkness—vampires bent on resurrecting
the lich tsar Konstantin Pavlovich so that he can take what
he sees as his rightful place on the throne. Katerina
thought she had bound Konstantin to the Greylands, the realm
of the dead, but he has found a way out. Now he is searching
for the Morning Star, a sword that will allow him to command
a legion of supernatural warriors.
Katerina must find the sword before Konstantin does—and she
must travel to Egypt to do so. Along the way, she puts up
with unwanted attention from her former fiancé, the
nefarious Prince Danilo, and struggles with her feelings for
her true love, George Alexandrovich. But with the looming
threat from Konstantin, Katerina's focus remains on the
sword. Russia's fate will be determined by whoever wields
the Morning Star—and delivers the final blow.
