Kremlins

In a world where danger hides in plain sight and no one aspires to more than what they were born to, Inga must find the courage to break the oppressive chains she's been bound with since birth. Even as a maid in the infamous Kremlin, life in 16th-century Russia is bleak and treacherous. That is, until Taras arrives. Convinced that his mother's death when he was a boy was no mere accident, he returned from England to discover what really happened. While there, he gains favor from the Tsar later known as Ivan the Terrible.

After a decisive victory, Tsar Ivan falls ill, followed by his beloved wife. As the Tsarina's condition worsens, Inga glimpses the sadistic creature Ivan was before he married. As the Tsar's madness grows, he lashes out, and all of Russia feels the sting. As Inga fears the future, Taras looks to the past, searching for the elusive answers to his mother’s death. Inga and Taras cling to one another for survival. Inga finds herself at an epic crossroads, with her heart beckoning her one way and her fear tugging her in another.

Siberian tigers. Witch hunts. War. Death. Tragedy and conflict rip through Russian lives. Inga and Taras, Nikolai and Yehvah fight to survive. The Kremlin grows ever more dangerous as Ivan ages and his sanity slides farther from his grasp. Inga and Taras must face the demons of their pasts and make choices for the future if they want to achieve the happiness that has, thus far, eluded them.
