To cling to power in a cut-throat world, she would have to overthrow and assassinate her husband, battle the Ottoman Turks to submission and face the wrath of the Russian people in a massive rebellion. Surviving these trials would make Catherine one of the greatest of all Russian rulers, an icon of imperial power.

Explore the hidden truth of the mania that spawned Henry's degeneration from pious poster-boy for absolute monarchy to an obese, serial wife-killer and a grotesque caricature of the evils of unchecked power and egotism.
