HTML:<p><b>Debut author Shen Tao introduces listeners to the lush, deadly world of <i>The Poet Empress,</i> a sweeping, epic and intimate fantasy perfect for fans of</b> <b><i>The Serpent & the Wings of Night, The Song of Achilles</i> and <i>She Who Became the Sun</i>.</b><br /> In the waning years of the Azalea Dynasty, the emperor is dying, the land consumed by famine, and poetry magic lost to all except the powerful.<br /> Wei Yin is desperate. After the fifth death of a sibling, with her family and village on the brink of starvation, she will do anything to save those she loves.<br /> Even offer herself as concubine to the cruel heir of the beautiful and brutal Azalea House.<br /> But in a twist of fate, the palace stands on the knife-edge of civil war with Wei trapped in its center...at the side of a violent prince.<br /> To survive, Wei must harden her heart, rely on her wit, and become dangerous herself. Even if it means becoming a poet in a world where women are forbidden to read—and composing the most powerful spell of all. A ballad of death...and love.<br /> <b>The Poet Empress</b> <i><b>is an epic fantasy that explores darker themes, subjects, and scenes that may not be suitable for all listeners.<br /></b><br /></i><b>A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble Books</b></p>.
