Princes and Peasants

The second volume in Catrin Collier's epic The Tsar's Dragons series, set in the late nineteenth-century Russian Empire. Welsh industrialist John Hughes has built an ironworks on the Russian Steppe - and a city bearing his name has grown up around it. For people like John's right-hand man, Glyn Edwards, and the troubled youngsters Richard and Anna Parry, the city is a chance to build a new life for themselves - and for ambitious Russians like Alexei Beletsky, it offers a chance to change their homeland for the better.
