WAIT... WHAT?!
Okay, I only have one thing to say about this book! Sergei must be a vampire or something! In the first book, which takes place in 1745, when Catherine/Sophie arrives at the Russian court, we learn, that Sergei has been with Empress Elizabeth since he was 16/17 - in 1745 he is 20 years old. However, in this book, which takes place during 1725, we see Elizabeth and Sergei's first meeting! Which must make him a vampire, obviously. Or, you know, able to meet women before he was even, ...more

I absolutely loved reading this story!! To be honest, I am completely in love with this entire series!!
The characters were remarkable. I loved reading about Elizabeth. I felt a real connection with this character. Her emotions literally just flowed from the pages as I read this story. I am a complete sucker for a strong female character.
The story-line was incredible. I couldn't put this book down. I read it all completely through in one sitting because I couldn't help but be enchanted by this st ...more

A novella about a kingdom in Russia that is staring to be torn apart. Many years ago, the king had taken a new wife, and had two daughters, Elizabeth and Petra. His son Alexi, from his first marriage, is still angry about the arrangement and is found guilty of treason. His oldest daughter, Elizabeth, is ready to assume the throne when it’s her turn, but it’s found out that Alexi had fathered a son, who is now the rightful ...more

EThis is the prequel to a new series that will feature young Elizabeth of Russia. This is a quick novella just at 90 pages so it easy to speed through it and think you might of missed something. It ok you can re read again at a much slower pace. In this short novel we are introduced to Elizabeth and her younger sister Petra. I always been intrigued by stories that center around the Romanov especially Anastasia. I sure this story will steal our hearts like all sherry novels do and i eager to dive

This book was impossible to put down, finished in a few hours. I can’t wait to see what more sherry has to come! I didn’t realize this was a series when I picked it and now need to go back and read books 1-3. There was a harsh truth and pain to the story that just made it so much more.
Any of my followers will well-recall my obsession with Sherry D. Ficklin’s STOLEN EMPIRE saga. The trilogy that really opened my eyes to the world of YA History and changed my reading-life forever. A historian myself, I have always been astounded by Ficklin’s remarkable take on one of history’s most powerful women. But what of the Empress that helped to put her there?

I’m a fan of historical fiction and I LOVE the Stolen Empire series—I can’t get enough of it. I was thrilled when I found out there was going to be another book in the series, and again when I receive a copy of Sherry Ficklin’s latest novella in the series.

I LOVED THIS! It's a quick read, but packed full of details that will leave you begging for more.
Elizabeth is a Princess, born to lead and do amazing things. Too bad, the council just see's her gender. Elizabeth has seen her brother die, been hurt by a man she loved and yet always remains strong. But when her dad the King falls ill, everything will change.

I have been waiting for this sneak peek novella/book to come out FOREVER!! It was so worth the wait!! I LOVED it!! I devoured it, I read it all in a brief sitting and was instantly depressed when I was finished! I then re-read it, since I knew that I had missed some things (due to my zooming through the pages) - I wanted to see how it ended, but at the same time never wanted it to end!

Riveting! Loved and lost twice, only her sister now. Will there be happiness for Elizabeth at all? Moving and fast paced novella that I could not put down once started. Loved it and fits well with this series.
I am a huge fan of this author. She has an incredible ability to sweep you up into her storyline with vivid descriptions and fantastic characters. I need this novella in paperback form so that I can add it to her other books.
I can't wait to get started on the next book as I love getting lost in her story telling abilities. ...more

This was a short book and I didn’t put it down until I finished it. Elizabeth is a strong character and I am excited to purchase the next book immediately so I can find out what happens with her next.
Love love this entire series and getting the back story to Elizabeth makes me understand, in part why she became the woman we meet in the first 3 books. Continuing on with the next book ! I highly recommend these books
I don’t know how Sherry did it because I hated Elizabeth in Sophie aka Catherine’s point of view but just this tidbit of a glimpse into Elizabeth’s point of view and I’m already understanding her.
This bite size story was everything I love about The Stolen Empire series. A great intro to the new star (but familiar) star.

Sherry is the author of over a dozen novels for teens and young adults including the best selling Stolen Empire series. She can often be found browsing her local bookstore with a large white hot chocolate in one hand and a towering stack of books in the other. That is, unless she's on deadline at which time she, like the Loch Ness monster, is only seen in blurry photographs.
