For twenty years, the throne of Russia was the center of a bitter and terrible conflicet between Catherine the Great and her son, Paul.
Determined to have a grandson, Catherine forced Paul into marriage; with his first bride he found love, and the end was tragedy; but his second wife bore him a son. Paul would have died then, but for Catherine's lover, the erratic genius Potemkin. Instead, it was Catherine who died at last, and Paul began the brief and terrible reign which earned him the name of "the death's head czar".
A dramatic and compelling story set in a glittering period of Russia's history. The second in the trilogy about the Romonovs. The first told the story of Catherine, the third tells the story of Paul's son, Alexander.
