With three revolving points-of-view, this diverse, epic, richly-imagined Asian fantasy is set against a world of ancient magic and political intrigue.<\/p>\r\n
Assertive Lu has always expected to be named her father\u2019s heir and become the dynasty\u2019s first female ruler, while her timid sister Min expects to lead a quiet life in Lu\u2019s shadow. But when their father declares Lu will marry her cousin, Set, who will take the throne instead, ripples shock the realm and throw the girls\u2019 lives into chaos.<\/p>\r\n
Determined to reclaim her birthright, Lu goes on the run. She forms a shaky alliance with Nokhai, the lone, unlikely survivor of the Ashina, a clan of nomadic wolf shapeshifters wiped out by Lu\u2019s father. Meanwhile Min\u2019s own hidden power awakens, a forbidden, deadly magic that she could use to secure Set\u2019s reign\u2014or her own. There can only be one emperor and the sisters\u2019 greatest enemy could turn out to be each other.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With three revolving points-of-view, this diverse, epic, richly-imagined Asian fantasy is set against a world of ancient magic and political intrigue.
