Beschreibung
Sold into household labour as a child, Catherine survives assault, betrayal, heartbreak and the machinations of the Russian court to become Peter the Great's most trusted confidante and ruler in her own right. Her riveting rise to power takes place against the backdrop of a campaign to modernise Russia into a major Western power, one of the most transformative moments in European history.
