About This Book
In a crumbling empire on the brink of civil war, Wei Yin, a peasant girl turned concubine, navigates the treacherous landscape of the imperial court. As princes scheme for power, she discovers a hidden talent for poetry, a skill forbidden to women that could alter the course of her life and her nation's fate. With the weight of oppression on her shoulders, she must compose a poem so powerful it can challenge the very essence of authority and reshape her destiny.
