Now she burns with a new desire: to seize the throne and crown herself emperor. However, Zhu isn’t the only one with imperial aspirations. Courtesan Madam Zhang plots to steal the throne for her husband. But scorned scholar Wang Baoxiang is even closer to the throne. He’s maneuverered his way to the capital, where his courtly games threaten to bring the empire to its knees. For Baoxiang also desires revenge: to become the most degenerate Great Khan in history. In the process, he’d make a mockery of the warrior values his Mongol family loved more than him. To stay in the game, Zhu must gamble everything on one bold move. A risky alliance with an old enemy: Ouyang, the brilliant but unstable eunuch general. All contenders will do whatever it takes to win. But when desire has no end, and ambition no limits, could the price be too high for even the most ruthless heart to bear? \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eShe Who Became the Sun:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e‘As brilliant as \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eCirce\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e . . . a deft and dazzling triumph’ \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e–\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eTasha Suri, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Jasmine Throne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e'Magnificent in every way. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWar, desire, vengeance, politics – Shelley Parker-Chan has perfectly measured each ingredient' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e–\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e Samantha Shannon, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Priory of the Orange Tree\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46542764998814,"sku":"TLD-9781529043440","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529043440.jpg?v=1771567883","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529043440","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
