19thcentury duke historical historicalfiction mystery nihilism philosophy poetry politics

"I fear a terrible fate has befallen me, a most poetic one-- romantic, even."
In the 1860s of St Petersburg, poet Nikolay Karakozov finds himself entrapped in a numbing lack of inspiration, during which his desperate search for a muse becomes ever more obsessive with each torturous ode as he becomes entwined in the lives and affairs of his aristocratic patrons.
Meanwhile, Polina Lebedev, daughter of a Duke, begins unraveling the secret web of political conspiracy and social hypocrisy surrounding the elite nobles of Russia, including that of her own family's dark history.All Rights Reserved

***This is book two in the Royally Series, You MUST read book one (Royally Sheltered) FIRST before reading this. If you haven't read that, spoilers will be in this description.*** Catherine Carter has done what no one, including her, thought she would be able to do. She's gotten past a lot of her anxiety issues, made some friends, fallen in love, and has been named the top student of the Royal Academy. She's the first in line to become the next queen of Alumbridge, and be married to the Prince. Except, the Prince and her have had a falling out because of the secrets he's hidden from her. While they had originally fallen in love, Catherine can't tell if any of the actions or words of affirmation have been real. And with him being in on the protest she started against his establishment, she's feeling like she's been betrayed. Four months later, the Academy is opening back up, and Catherine is as numb and emotional as she's ever been. She feels eager to go back to continue her protest and see her friends, but she's also scared to go back and face the Prince who she still has overwhelming feelings towards. As antagonistic forces loom in the distance, and Catherine's protest gets closer and closer to becoming an event, Catherine has to confront everything that she's come to know and believe so far. She has to confront both the past actions and past emotions that she's been putting off dealing with for the past few months. She has to figure out a way to work with the Prince, who she'd rather not see ever again, and deal with the revelations regarding him. But most of all, Catherine has to decide if she wants to continue on her current life path, or make a decision that will change the trajectory of her life forever.

My Warrior Path (Book 6) by OlgaPinsky

My 6th poetry book starts September 10, 2018. After Walking Forward to the Beginning, it's now time to head towards the future and all of my goals and dreams; a warrior marching down her path as depicted on the cover. This book will also be edgier then my previous ones as I share my thoughts on politics and other matters. It has nothing to do with disrespecting others, and everything to do with being my true, real, unapologetic, authentic self. Cover created by @RubaiaKhatun. © All Rights Reserved to Olga Pinsky.
