Summary "The Daughter of an Empress" by L. Mühlbach is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the tumultuous life of Countess Natalie Dolgorucki, whose husband faces execution due to political machinations at the imperial court, spurring her vow for vengeance against those who wronged him. The opening of the book introduces a dramatic and heart-wrenching scene where Countess Natalie bids farewell to her husband Ivan, who is about to meet a tragic fate at the hands of their political enemies. Despite her sorrow, she resolves to live on in faith and prayer for divine vengeance. This powerful scene sets the tone for the intricacies of love, sacrifice, and revenge that characterize the lives of the novel's central figures amid the backdrop of Russian imperial politics. As Natalie seeks solace in a cloister, it is clear that the themes of loyalty and the quest for justice will play significant roles in shaping her journey.
