In the summer of 1914, the capitals of European countries erupt in a patriotic frenzy as individuals on all attributes, roused by the press, rejoice at the outbreak of the "war to get rid of wars". The rejoicing soon changes to disillusionment as the full horrors of the bloodiest turmoil the earth has ever before seen become obvious. For the Emperors of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia comes the growing recognition that this warfare, which they searched for desperately to avoid, is not being fought for territory or honor, but instead to demolish the old world order and also to replace their autocracies with secular ideologies and international monetary control. Amid the intrigue and deception, Kaiser Wilhelm, Tsar Nicholas, Emperor Franz Josef, Archduke Karl, and Queen Marie of Roumania not only face the horrific sacrifice of their people, but are also confronted by their own personal and family tragedies. The Sacrifice is the next novel in the Shattered Crowns trilogy, following the royalties of European countries from 1913 to the Treaty of Versailles. The Sacrifice addresses the period from the outbreak of warfare to the Russian trend (1914-1917) and is based on actual occurrences.
