Poet Empress - Shen Tao

TO KILL A MONSTER, SHE MUST BECOME ONE...

As the emperor lays dying, the once-great Azalea Dynasty plunges towards civil war.

While its princes plot for power, a more hidden war - to become the next empress - occupies the imperial court.

Wei Yin - peasant girl turned concubine to the cruel Prince Terren - has already endured unimaginable suffering. Ripped from her family, she has no title, no allies, and no escape. But she does have a secret...

In the shadows of the palace, surrounded by enemies, she is learning a skill forbidden to women. Because when words are weapons and poetry holds an ancient magic, the fate of a girl - and a nation - can both be rewritten.

All she has to do is compose the perfect poem - a tale so powerful, it can kill any man, even the next emperor.
