THE THRONE OF THE FIVE WINDS

S.C. Emmett

THE THRONE OF THE FIVE WINDS is the first book in a medieval East Asia-inspired epic fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of George R. R. Martin, Ken Liu, Kate Elliott, and K. Arsenault Rivera.

Two queens, two concubines, six princes. Innumerable hidden agendas. Yala, lady-in-waiting to the princess of a vanquished kingdom, must navigate their captors' treacherous imperial court.

The Emperor's palace full of ambitious royals, sly gossip, and unforeseen perils is perhaps the most dangerous place in Zhaon. The lady Komor Yala has only her wits and her hidden blade to protect herself and her princess Mahara, sacrificed in marriage to the enemy, a hostage for her conquered people's good behavior, to secure a tenuous peace.

But the Emperor is aging, and the Khir princess and her lady-in-waiting soon find themselves pawns in the six princes' deadly schemes for the throne and a single spark could ignite fresh rebellion in Khir.

Then, the Emperor falls ill and a far bloodier game begins...

S. C. Emmett is a pseudonym for bestselling author Lilith Saintcrow. She lives in Vancouver, WA.

Comments

Action and intrigue takes place within a layered and beautifully realized fantasy world that will appeal to readers of Evan Winter's The Rage of Dragons and K. Arsenault Rivera's The Tiger's Daughter.

Intricate, elegant and sharp as a blade - The Throne of the Five Winds is sweeping political fantasy at its finest.

Brimful of thrilling palace drama and menacing court intrigue.

With a deliberate pace and fine attention to details of dress and custom, Emmett weaves a masterful tale of court intrigues.
