520    "Ellen Alpsten's stunning new novel, The Tsarina's 
       Daughter, is the dramatic story of Elizabeth, daughter of 
       Catherine I and Peter the Great, who ruled Russia during 
       an extraordinary life marked by love, danger, passion and 
       scandal. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
