Upon the will of Heaven rested the fates of mortals-life and death, fortune and poverty. Through the mandate of heaven came the pronouncement of imperial edict, perceived as the embodiment of Heaven's will upon the earthly realm. Thus, despite opposition from the noble clans, Sun Renshu, the illustrious general of the Empire from humble origins, is betrothed to the First Princess Xian, who has one of the most distinguished noble lineage.

*FEATURED* Ao is a wrathful, ravenous former god trapped in a human body and sentenced to roam the Inner Empire for all eternity. Eternity is rather dull, until she meets a green-eyed prince and his friends. The prince offers her a deal; help him and she can get revenge on the ones who stripped her of her godhood. Sounds like a good offer right? But with the prince's offer comes danger, deceit, and enough almond pudding to drown a dragon. Oh well, at least eternity isn't dull anymore. *~*~*~*~*~* Recommended for ages 16+.

Danger...Deception...Death Can she ever escape the vicious cycle? "The moment I was born, my father walked outside and screamed to the heavens for the mere reason that I was a girl. When he came back, he took me in his arms, looked straight into my innocent eyes, and told me, 'Hush now, child. For this day you are my son, and no son of mine will bawl like a girl.'" Sixteen-year-old Amachi Junichi is the only one still alive who knows that she's a woman. Struggling to hide her secret to preserve her family's name along with the clan she leads becomes harder with each passing year. It doesn't help when her general Igarashi Ryuu seems to know there isn't something quite right about her. However, when the Amachi clan is threatened by those both within and without, can Jun risk her secret to save those she's sworn to protect?

Bloodshed...Birthright...Betrayal. Can he ever discover the truth? "The first and only time that I dared to call Igarashi Sakura 'Mother', she placed a hand across my mouth and pulled me close. For a long moment, she was silent, no part of her moving except for her chest and the tears that fell from her eyes. Finally, she leaned close to my ear, whispering, 'Swallow those words, Kazuhiko, for your mother is not me. She died years ago, and the moment someone hears you call me that, all of our lives shall be forfeit.'" The young Lord Amachi Kazuhiko never questioned why his father's once-loyal general and his wife raised him. He never questioned why the last of his father's advisers was given control of the clan until he came of age and not one of his dead mother's brothers. That is until he returns from battle to find his not-mother Sakura has been captured...on the battlefield. Setting off on a journey to help Ryuu rescue his wife awakens questions that Kazuhiko never knew existed, and he begins to seek answers. Where did he truly come from? Why did the general betray his father? How did Sakura come to be on the battlefield? And what was with the girl that looked eerily similar to him? The truth may set him free, but it may also kill him in the meantime. Book Two of the Kakureta Hana series All Right Reserved

A conspiracy behind a dark veil, a kingdom in crumble, and a secret of the past life...when the light befell on everything, would their lives remain the same?

The story of the Dragon and Phoenix is a myth, a tale constructed by our wildest imaginations. Unless the tale isn't fiction. It is said that every generation, fate bestows its imprint into the blood of two vessels replenished with new life, still innocent of the world. Upon their birth, they are the game pieces, their paths, the board, and fate; it's only player. ~ One became an Emperor. He followed a path of trials and tribulations, war, and bloodshed. His sovereignty was one seized by travail force. His victims were slaughtered to their grave, never to be spoken of again. The cost of power was only his humanity and name, both stained in blood. The other stayed innocent. She followed a path of a simple, conservative life. She was content, happy, and yet, she possessed a heart brimming with hopes and dreams she dared not speak, a mind filled with intelligence she dared not reveal, and eyes full of tears she could not let fall. So unlike, and yet, fate holds the key to their parallel destiny. And so, it isn't a surprise for the heavens when she is chosen, chosen for a harem filled with cunning and bitter women skilled in the art of despicable scheming. Chosen for an Emperor, whose very name renders shivers down one's spine and who's sinful deeds haunt the empire's dreams. She has no choice. She must go. But what happens when she catches the eye of that very Emperor? After all, the Dragon is nothing without his Phoenix.
