She was the most important beauty contest of them all… They said she was a witch who used her power to capture the most powerful man in Russia…
The daughter a minor Russian aristocrat, Anastasia Romanovna was fifteen years old when she was chosen over more than ten thousand other girls to become the bride of sixteen-year-old Ivan IV, first Tsar of Russia. Charming, beautiful and enchantingly naive, her story is a rich fabric of dangerous intrigues, of evil plots, of intense jealousies, and of blinding passion -- played out in the early days of the Russian Empire. From fabulous balls in golden palaces to hunting parties at splendid country dachas. THE TSAR'S WOMAN evokes all the power and glamour of an exotic era long gone.
