Prince Mikhail never expected to be arrested the day after his wife's funeral. The tsarina offers him a full pardon... if he submits to her desires. At his refusal, she strips him of title, wealth, and family, reducing him to a life of mockery. When his spirit remains unbroken through the unlikely friendship of court jesters and the surprising kindness of a foreign princess, the tsarina makes one last bid for his submission, and this time, by threatening his very humanity.
The Tsarina’s Favorite is a romantic historical fantasy that weaves folklore and fairy tale through actual events at the Russian court.
