Born into the House of Romanov to the all-powerful Peter the Great and his wife, Catherine, a former serf, beautiful Tsarevna Elizabeth is the envy of the Russian empire. She is insulated by luxury and spoiled by her father, who dreams for her to marry King Louis XV of France and rule in Versailles. But when a woodland creature gives her a Delphic prophecy, her life is turned upside down. Her volatile father suddenly dies, her only brother has been executed and her mother takes the throne of Russia. As friends turn to foes in the dangerous atmosphere of the Court, the princess must fear for her freedom and her life. Fate deals her blow after blow, and even loving her becomes a crime that warrants cruel torture and capital punishment: Elizabeth matures from suffering victim to strong and savvy survivor. But only her true love and their burning passion finally help her become who she is. When the Imperial Crown is left to an infant Tsarevich, Elizabeth finds herself in mortal danger and must confront a terrible dilemma--seize the reins of power and harm an innocent child, or find herself following in the footsteps of her murdered brother. Hidden behind a gorgeous, wildly decadent façade, the Russian Imperial Court is a viper's den of intrigue and ambition. Only a woman possessed of boundless courage and cunning can prove herself worthy to sit on the throne of Peter the Great"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Elizabeth, $c Empress of Russia, $d 1709-1762 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Russia $x History $y 1689-1801 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 12 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021912.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032230.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230321010401.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20220928010143.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024650.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220708012929.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220630012646.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220628010942.0 952 $l CCPB522 $d 20220603010134.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220429010334.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010530.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220326011630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B55BFCEACCA11ECBC97898D42ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
