Bastions of Blood

What if you came to the greatest crossroads of your life…and chose wrong?

Inga is jubilant over Russia's victory in Kazan. Until both Ivan and the Tsarina fall deathly ill, and tragedy strikes. Ivan slides into madness, and Inga has a front row seat to the blood and terror he inflicts. She yearns for peace, and for Taras, but clings to the familiarity of the Kremlin as well.

As Taras seeks answers, he compromises with his honor in ways he could never have imagined. He knows when he leaves court, it will be forever. This is his only chance to solve a soul-crushing mystery. But doing so may destroy him.

As the Kremlin darkens, everything races to a head. Inga must choose between familiar chains and terrifying freedom. Between security...and love.
Find out what Inga chooses in the second installment of K.L. Conger's epic historical romance trilogy.
