About This Book

Set amid an imperial court, the narrative follows ceremonial banquets, petitions, and private intrigues as a ruler dispenses favors and honors. Interpersonal tensions among queens, concubines, relatives, and officials reveal humiliations, jealousies, and appeals to compassion, while priests and advisers jockey for advancement. Personal loyalties and romantic hopes collide with public duty, and the spectacle of feasting and ceremony is continually undercut by plans for military action and the political calculations that will determine the realm's future.
