Set against the upheavals of 19th-century Russia, The Rim of the Skyfollows Elizaveta Georgievna, a young noblewoman swept into a world of radical ideas, clandestine marriages, and ruthless oppression. Torn between family duty and a fierce hunger for justice, she joins a generation of idealists determined to defy patriarchy and transform their country. From Russia to France and Switzerland, Elizaveta's journey is one of courage, sacrifice, and love tested to its limits-culminating in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II and a fate bound to her unborn child. A sweeping tale of revolution, passion, and resilience, this is historical fiction at its most compelling.
