But the higher she climbs in the court, the further she and Fanli have to fall. And if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down . . .‘An elegant historical epic’ – Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of the Orange Tree‘Stunning and heart-rending’ – Chloe Gong, author of Immortal Longings
