Prince Mikhail, once regarded as the shining star of the royal court, returns from travels abroad a grieving widower. Having married without the tsarina’s permission and – worse! – having converted religions for the marriage, the tsarina is willing to overlook his transgressions if he agrees to resume his duties as her lover. His refusal results in a loss of title, wealth, and family. When that fails to break him, the tsarina condemns him to a fate worse than death by stripping him of his very humanity.
The Tsarina’s Favorite is a romantic fantasy based on the real-life Prince Mikhail Alekseevich Golitsyn’s ordeals at the Russian court of Empress Anna Ivanovna, weaving Russian folklore and fairytale throughout the historical record.

Valtinen Erik Karille
Little is known about this writer. His royalties are wired to a Swiss bank account and he communicates to the outside world via smoke signal from the chimney of his 1871 fortress residence. The city hall has received numerous complaints of public indecency regarding a nude humanoid figure wandering the grounds. These have largely been ignored due to the typical inclusion of horns in witness descriptions. Additional municipal violations include sky burials for roadkill, midnight outbursts of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from his balcony, and the unlawful presence of a bison on residential property within city limits. Internet statements positively attributed to this writer claim a birth year of 1638, intensive training in Liberace Fashion Principles, and the discovery of a sixth-dimensional cube in his cereal in 2002. Sightings have spiked since mid-2024 with independent investigators suggesting that he has come out of seclusion to vindicate and canonize an ancestral Russian prince.
