  <default_description>Against a Crimson Sky tells the stories of four characters who are irrevocably linked in the aftermath of Polands violent dissolution in 1794, a break culminating in the doomed 1812 winter march into Russia. Countess Anna Maria Berezowska has finally married her true love, Jan Stelnicki, but life is anything but ideal. Shortly after their union, Jan takes to the battlefield in the hopes of ensuring a sovereign Poland for his children. Meanwhile, his best friend on the front lines continues to pine for Annas cousin, Zofia, but she has her sights set on Emperor Napoleon. Against a Crimson Sky interweaves these tales of intrigue, love, and betrayal as one proud nation and one strong family struggle for unity.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was so disappointed with this book.  Aside from the first chapter, which could have easily been added to the end of the first book, I had to force myself to continue reading.  There was so much lacking for me on so many levels-not recommended.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't love this one like I did its prequel - too many war stories that were rushed at some points and strung out at others. Towards the end I just wanted the happily ever after. But a good read, for sure.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was expecting so much more after Push Not the River.  I finished this book, but it was disappointing.  If you read Push No the River, you'll be tempted to read this, but really I wouldn't bother.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wasn't as good as Push not the River.....that one was based on Anna's diary whereas this one is the author guessing what happened later based on the family's geneology, etc.]]></body>
