"A young royal from the far north, is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for."--Provided by publisher.

Okay submitted by zmclaugh on July 19, 2021, 1:23pm I think this was just because of the way the story was narrated, but I found it to be pretty simple and was expecting more depth. This was probably a poor expectation since this is just a novella.
Beautiful short story submitted by rachelmcglash on June 16, 2023, 9:49am I definitely wanted more of this story. It was intriguing and wonderfully written. Great if you are looking for a quick read. Definitely recommend the other 2 in the series as well.
