Under the tutelage of Count Bestuzhev, Chancellor and spymaster, Varvara will be educated in skills from lock picking to lovemaking, learning above all else to listen, and wait for opportunity.

Story
In der Familie Nijinsky dreht sich alles nur um eines: ums Ballett. Als Bronislawa und Waslaw um 1900 in St. Petersburg aufwachsen, bewundern sie allabendlich ihre Eltern in der Garderobe, nervös vor den Auftritten, erhitzt und gelöst danach. Auch für die beiden Kinder ist der Weg vorgezeichnet: Sie werden an der kaiserlichen Ballettakademie aufgenommen - und schon bald zeigt sich, dass besonders Waslaw alle anderen überflügelt. Den Geschwistern steht eine ganze Welt offen - Paris, London, später gar New York.

When Vavara, a young orphaned Polish girl, is brought to serve at Empress Elizabeth's glittering, dangerous court in St Petersburg, she is schooled by the Chancellor himself in skills from lock-picking to love-making, learning above all else to stay silent - and listen. Soon, she is Elizabeth's 'tongue' - her secret eyes and ears. Then Sophie, a vulnerable young princess, arrives from Prussia as a prospective bride for Elizabeth's heir.

Story
St. Petersburg im 18. Jahrhundert: geheime Gänge, verdeckte Türen, dunkle Nischen. Als die Waise Warwara als Dienstmädchen in den Winterpalast kommt, lernt sie schnell, sich ihre Verschwiegenheit und ihren aufmerksamen Blick zunutze zu machen. Sie wird zu einer der wichtigsten Spioninnen im Palast. Als die junge Sophie von Anhalt-Zerbst - die spätere Katharina die Große - an den Hof kommt und auf dem Weg zur Macht eine Verbündete braucht, wird Warwara ihre engste Vertraute.
