Summaries

A German princess is chosen to marry the heir to the Russian Throne, but faces plots and intrigues against her.

The action begins in the small German principality, where we meet with the German princess Sophia Augustus Frederica. She is brought to the Russian Empire, where she is forced to accept Orthodoxy and is given a new name "Ekaterina Alekseevna". The luxury and grandeur of the northern capital, intrigue, love and humiliation - all this is still ahead. Through it all passes the young Prussian princess.—Peter-Patrick76 ([email protected])
