Description
The continuation of the novel about war and fate, set in an alternate history of ancient China. The radiant king Zhu Yuanzhang has liberated southern China from the grip of Mongol rulers and rides the wave of victory. A new desire burns within him: to seize the throne and be crowned emperor. However, others also covet the imperial scepter. The influential courtesan Madam Chang from a neighboring territory wants the throne for her husband and has enough resources to thwart Zhu's plans. In an effort to stay in the game, Zhu must bet everything on a shaky alliance with an old enemy: the talented but unstable eunuch general Ouyang. The southerners, however, are unaware that someone from the imperial court is also vying for the throne. The despised scholar Wang Paoxiang has infiltrated the capital and threatens the stability of the entire empire with his murderous intrigues. All rivals are determined to do anything for victory. However, when desire reaches immense proportions, the price for its fulfillment may be too much for even the hardest heart to bear...
