The Gathering Storm

(3) YA Katerina Trilogy series. Vampires, wolves, and a protagonist with supernatural powers provide the tension for this mystery set in 1880s St. Petersburg, Russia. There are lots of period details (and many characters to keep straight); the narrative gives readers insight into a czarist Russian culture that promotes proper aristocratic marriages and forbids Duchess Katerina (the book's protagonist) from studying medicine.
