The Poet Empress

In the final years of the Azalea Dynasty, the emperor is dying, famine spreads across the land, and poetry magic has become accessible only to the powerful. Wei Yin, desperate to save her starving family and village after losing five siblings, offers herself as a concubine to the cruel heir of Azalea House. When civil war erupts within the palace, Wei finds herself trapped at the center of the conflict, at the side of a violent prince. To survive, she must become cunning and dangerous. This requires her to become a poet and compose powerful spells—a forbidden act in a world where women are prohibited from reading. The Poet Empress is an epic fantasy that contains darker themes and scenes. A content note appears at the beginning of the book.
