"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"--
