New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels delivers stories seething with the passion and drama that have become her hallmarks. In Whitefire, she takes us to 16-century Russia during the reign of Ivan the Terrible - an age of unspeakable savagery and unbridled passion. Here, in a land torn by violence, a man and a woman will journey to the limits of bitter hatred and white-hot ecstasy - in a spellbinding novel of love and adventure only Fern Michaels could write. She possesses the courage and beauty of her wild Cossack ancestors. Now Katerina is on a vengeance quest against the marauders who destroyed her village and stole her priceless snow-white horses in the name of the mad czar. Nor will she rest until she has killed the man who dared to take her innocence. Never does she dream that it is her irresistible seducer - a proud Mongol prince - who will help her avenge her people and reclaim her horses. Together, they harness the fires of fury and passion that consume them. And, together, they forge a destiny as magnificent as the land and the love that is their glorious heritage.
