Description: SHE RULED AN EMPIRE OF PASSION Daughter of a Virginia rebel, Richilde was raised in the fires of the French Revolution, destined to flower into radiant womanhood in a Paris red with the blood of the aristocracy. She came with nothing -- yet became one of the wealthiest women in France. For her icy beauty was to capture the heart of a man who would become the most brilliant general and most feared ruler in all Europe. From the fevered pleasurues of war-torn Paris to the exotic shores of Egypt, from a life of bitter poverty to unimaginable wealth, loved or hated by all who knew her, Richilde wielded her sensual weapons in a world inflamed by war. But there was only one man who commanded her heart, a man as ruthless in love as he was in war...a man called Napoleon.
