Out of the Shadows: With Catherine the Great

By Judith A Rypma

As Catherine the Great rides triumphantly into Petersburg to seize the Russian throne, she is brimming with ideas. Yet in these early years of her reign, she must confront a corrupt and inept government, a disastrous economy, attempted coups, conflicts with the church, mysterious murders, court intrigues, a sick heir, an epidemic, war, and resistance to her reforms and new laws. Meanwhile, her confidant and lady-in-waiting Maria continues to harbor a secret-and a crisis. Even after living in the dazzling imperial court for nearly two decades, she sometimes yearns to return to the future she left so unwillingly in the late 20th century. Will she find the portal? And if she does, how could she abandon her beloved husband and friends in the past? This stand-alone novel picks up where In the Shadows with Catherine the Great leaves off and does not require you to read Book One first.
