Queen of Always by Sherry D. Ficklin

Queen of Always (Stolen Empire, #3)

by Sherry D. Ficklin

If her time at court has taught Catherine anything, it's that there is no room for weakness in Imperial Russia. With the Empress' health failing and rumors of a change in the line of succession, her place in the royal line is once more in jeopardy.

Tormented by her sadistic husband and his venomous mistress, Catherine must once more walk the fine line between pleasure and politics—between scandal and survival.

When her young son becomes the target of those rebelling against Peter's reign, Catherine will have to rise up to protect herself, her child, and her nation from his unstable and potentially catastrophic rule. This means putting herself at odds with the most dangerous man she's ever known, trusting those who once proved to be her enemies, and turning a nation against its sovereign. In the ultimate battle for the crown, new alliances will be forged, loyalties will be tested, and blood will be shed.

This is a series that has been fantastic from book one, i love how Ficklin can take a character that is rooted in history and mix in her own dash of how that story should play out. Their where parts where i cheered as the character got what they deserved, other times where my heart was in my thoart as i was scared and frightened, and of course lots of tears where shed. This is a series that will take you all the way to depth of everything you can possibly feel and it so good to get lost in a story that when you look up you realize the whole day has gone by while you been traveling around Russia. Nicely done Sherry nicely done.
