Description
Vicky Peterwald is no longer just heir to an imperial dynasty. She survived naval training and proved her mettle in combat to help the starving people of St. Petersburg. Now she is truly a Grand Duchess, leading a battle fleet in a rebellion against the tyranny of her stepmother, the Empress. Determined to stop her stepdaughter's betrayal from upsetting the power balance within the Peterwald Empire, the Empress is leading her own armada to St. Petersburg, intent on killing Vicky and every soul who helped her?
