Book Description: A TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2022 SO FAR Shortlisted for the Pushkin House Book Prize 2022 ‘Sparkling history…with a fairytale atmosphere of sleigh rides, royal palaces and heroic risk-taking’ The Times A killer virus…an all-powerful Empress…an encounter cloaked in secrecy…the astonishing true story.

Lucy Ward expertly unveils the extraordinary story of Enlightenment ideals, female leadership and the fight to promote science over superstition. ‘A rich and wonderfully urgent work of history’ Tristram Hunt
