Then...Grigory
"Grisha" Potemkin has had a successful long association with the
powerful Empress Catherine of Russia. But Catherine and Grisha are older now
and face new threats, both from powers outside of Russia and from those close
to them. Haunted by the horrors of his campaign against the Muslim Turks,
Grisha hopes to construct a mosque in the heart of the empire. Unfortunately,
Catherine's much younger new lover, the ambitious Platon Zubov, stands in his
way. Grisha determines that to preserve Catherine's legacy he must save her
from Zubov's dangerous influence and win back her heart.
Now...When
she learns she is the lost heiress to the Romanov throne, Veronica Herrera's
life turns upside down. Dmitry Potemkin, one of Grisha's descendants, invites
Veronica to Russia to accept a ceremonial position as Russia's new tsarina.
Seeking purpose, Veronica agrees to act as an advocate to free a Russian artist
sentenced to prison for displaying paintings critical of the church and
government. Veronica is both celebrated and chastised. As her political role
comes under fire, Veronica is forced to decide between the glamorous perks of
European royalty and staying true to herself.
In Jennifer Laam's The
Tsarina's Legacy, unexpected connections between Grisha and Veronica are
revealed as they struggle to make peace with the ghosts of their past and help
secure a better future for themselves and the country they both love.
