“Be
careful, Princess. When waging a war of the heart, you must only fight if you
are absolutely sure you can win.”
ONE GIRL WILL BRING AN EMPIRE TO ITS KNEES...
Before she can become the greatest empress in history, fifteen-year-old Sophie will have to survive her social-climbing mother’s quest to put her on the throne of Russia—at any cost.
Imperial Court holds dangers like nothing Sophie has ever faced before. In the heart of St. Petersburg, surviving means navigating the political, romantic, and religious demands of the bitter Empress Elizabeth and her handsome, but sadistic nephew, Peter. Determined to save her impoverished family—and herself—Sophie vows to do whatever is necessary to thrive in her new surroundings. But an attempt on her life and an unexpected attraction threatens to derail her plans.
Alone in a new and dangerous world, learning who to trust and who to charm may mean the difference between becoming queen and being sent home in shame to marry her lecherous uncle. With traitors and murderers lurking around every corner, her very life hangs in the balance. Betrothed to one man but falling in love with another, Sophie will need to decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice in order to become the empress she is destined to be.
In a battle for the soul of a nation, will love or destiny reign supreme?
Queen of Tomorrow
Sophie—now Catherine, Grand
Duchess of Russia—had a tough first year at Imperial Court. Married at sixteen
to Grand Duke Peter, heir to the throne, and settled in their own palace,
things are finally looking up. As a new day dawns, she thinks only of securing
her future, and the future of their country, during one of the greatest
political upheavals of her time. Fighting desperately against forces trying to
depose the Empress Elizabeth and put the young Prince Ivan on her throne,
Sophie soon finds herself in the middle of a war brewing between her beloved
Prussia, and her new empire. But even as she navigates the fragile political
landscape, she quickly realizes that she has only begun to discover the tangled
web of deceit and infidelity woven over the lavish court of Oranienbaum Palace.
When a strange and delicate
alliance forms between the young couple, she glimpses a future of happiness,
only to see it lost in a moment at the hands of those who still seek to end her
life—and prevent her reign. Out of favor with the empress and running out of
options, Sophie will have to sacrifice her own innocence on the altar of Russia
if she is to save the nation, and herself. To survive, she will have to do the
unthinkable, betray those closest to her and become something greater and more
dangerous than she ever imagined she could be… a queen.
Queen of Always
