Women's Fiction Historical
A concubine at the palace learns quickly that there are many
ways to capture the Emperor's attention. Many paint their
faces white and style their hair attractively, hoping to
lure in the One Above All with their beauty. Some present
him with fantastic gifts, such as jade pendants and scrolls
of calligraphy, while others rely on their knowledge of
seduction to draw his interest. But young Mei knows nothing
of these womanly arts, yet she will give the Emperor a gift
he can never forget. Mei's intelligence and curiosity, the same traits that make
her an outcast among the other concubines, impress the
Emperor. But just as she is in a position to seduce the most
powerful man in China, divided loyalties split the palace in
two, culminating in a perilous battle that Mei can only hope
to survive. In the breakthrough first volume in the Empress of Bright
Moon duology, Weina Dai Randel paints a vibrant portrait of
ancient China―where love, ambition, and loyalty can spell
life or death―and the woman who came to rule it all.

I love historical novels set in China.
