The series is set in 1768. Six years have passed since Catherine II ascended the Russian throne. During these six years of reign, Catherine continued the reforms started by her predecessors and began to expand the borders of the Russian Empire.

Having thus resolved the issue of inheritance, Catherine plunged headlong into her personal life. After her break with Count Orlov, she had a new favorite, Grigory Petemkin…
