"After suffering devastating loss and making drastic decisions Zetian finds herself at the
seat of power in Huaxia. But she has also learned that her world is not as it seems and
revelations about an enemy more daunting than Zetian imagined forces her to share power with a
dangerous man she cannot simply depose. Despite having vastly different ideas about how they
must deconstruct the corrupt and misogynist system that plagues their country Zetian must join
this man in a dance of truth and lies and perform their roles to perfection in order to take
down their common enemy who seeks to control them as puppets while dangling one of Zetian's
loved ones as a hostage. With political unrest and perilous forces aiming to undermine Zetian
at every turn can she enact positive changes as a fair and just ruler? Or will she be forced
to rely on fear and violence and succumb to her darker instincts in her quest for
vengeance?"--Provided by publisher.
