But George Alexandrovich of the light court is also interested in Katerina. Unknown to mom, Danilo needs her necromancer blood to become a full fledged vampire on his 18th birthday. So when future blood drinker Prince Danilo of the dark court shows and interest in Katerina, her mother is ecstatic. First, this version of tsarist Russia is divided into two courts - the light and the dark - and apparently a member of the light court can't marry someone from the dark court. I found The Gathering Storm to be very confusing in some places, but they were important places as far as the story goes. OK, I, like so many who have reviewed this novel about a 16 year old necromancer living in Imperial Russia, have to rely heavily on the publisher's blurb for a succinct description of what this book is about. The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power, but which side will she choose - and to whom will she give her heart? Suddenly Katerina's strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources.including two young men - George Alexandrovich, the tsar's standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina's help to safeguard Russia, even if he's repelled by her secret, and dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Katerina feels inexplicably drawn. But when she used her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.Īn evil presence is growing within Europe's royal bloodlines - and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret she can raise the dead.
