Description
Off to far Russia, the young princess Fike could hardly imagine that her marriage to the heir of the Russian throne would turn out to be a “golden cage.” But the mother-in-law-empress doesn’t trust her, her unloved husband cheats with others, and her own favorite turns out to be worthless; Catherine is facing a shameful divorce and exile…
And then, like a whirlwind, Grigory Orlov bursts into her life— a guard, a handsome giant, a hero of the battle of Tsorndorf, who loves her as a woman, not as a future empress.
And Catherine will have to choose: to continue languishing in the “golden cage” or to rise against her worthless husband by leading a guards’ conspiracy and a palace coup. To stay all her days a petty German princess—or to win the throne of the Russian Empire and make Catherine the Great’s name remembered for centuries!
