Description
A frivolous beauty, Alexandra, is in for a politically advantageous marriage—but first the ruler gets married: the empire needs an heir.
A disgrace on the imperial heads—weddings have been called off. The court lynches yesterday’s beloved, the autocrat disappears into the shadows, and I come to in a train wrecked beyond repair: I’ve been given someone else’s life. In cold luxury, I wait for the birth of children, search for a vanished artifact, compete with the would-be stepmother for influence over the emperor, and fight the court’s monstrous denizens.
The author knows how to ruin a transmigrator’s life, even if she’s the imperial daughter. Not a fairy-tale palace life—friends and enemies are traditional, conspiracies are far from attempts to topple anyone from the throne, and reforms that please only the reformer himself. Alternative 19th-century Russia.
