Description

In a court dripping with silk and secrets, the Emperor's gaze is a prize, and he has never once looked your way. You are the newest, most insignificant lady in the Imperial Palace, sent to serve the formidable Emperor Ren. For three days, he has treated you like air, his attention consumed by his two favorites—the cunning Thea and the jealous Lara. But tonight, at a grand victory banquet, your quiet absence sparks a flicker of something dangerous in his eyes. He is a conqueror on the battlefield and in the palace, used to getting whatever he desires. And for reasons no one can fathom, this powerful, charismatic ruler has become inexplicably intrigued by the one woman who isn't trying to win him.
