by Catherine Czerkawska (Author)
A sweeping tale of forbidden love, family loyalty, and destiny-set against the turbulent landscapes of 19th-century Eastern Europe.
In The Amber Heart, Catherine Czerkawska weaves a powerful family saga of conflict, loss, and love that endures against all odds.
In the rural borderlands of what was once Polish Galicia-now western Ukraine-two lives collide in a way that will change everything. Marianna, the cosseted daughter of a wealthy Polish landowner, grows up amid the elegance and beauty of the Lisko estate. Danilo, a hardworking and impoverished Ukrainian peasant, knows only the harsh realities of survival. Their worlds should never intersect-yet from the moment they meet, their fates become irrevocably and, at times, tragically entwined.
As political unrest, social upheaval, and family expectations threaten to tear them apart, Marianna and Danilo's fierce and passionate bond becomes the heartbeat of an unforgettable story. Around them, a vivid cast of characters struggle for identity, belonging, and hope in a land on the cusp of change.
Richly told and deeply moving, The Amber Heart is an epic novel of star-crossed love and the resilience of the human spirit.
Catherine Czerkawska delivers a sweeping historical romance that lingers long after the final page.
