Infused with magic and romance this sweeping fantasy adventure inspired by the legend of Mulan
follows a young woman determined to choose her own destiny—even if that means going against
everyone she loves. The Three Kingdoms are at war but Meilin’s father refuses to answer the
imperial draft. Trapped by his opium addiction he plans to sell Meilin for her dowry. But when
Meilin discovers her husband-to-be is another violent ill-tempered man she realizes that
nothing will change for her unless she takes matters into her own hands. The very next day
she disguises herself as a boy and enlists in her father’s place. In the army Meilin's
relentless hard work brings her recognition friendship—and a growing closeness with Sky a
prince turned training partner. But has she simply exchanged one prison for another? As her
kingdom barrels toward destruction Meilin begins to have visions of a sea dragon spirit that
offers her true power and freedom but with a deadly price. With the future of the Three
Kingdoms hanging in the balance Meilin will need to decide whom to trust—Sky who inspires her
loyalty and love the sea dragon spirit who has his own murky agenda or an infuriating enemy
prince who makes her question everything she once knew—about her kingdom and about her own
heart.
