Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1763, Empress Catherine the Great issued a compelling manifesto recruiting European emigrants to tame the wilderness along Russia's mighty Volga River. Powerful motives drive Lady Amila and two serfs-siblings Rein and Eva-to forge an unlikely alliance and join the first German emigrants. Following a perilous escape and year-long journey, they learn the true intent of the Empress' Gift.

Standing apart, Amila reeled as the disturbance sent birds careening from the nearby trees.…
