In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a sinister plot is brewing in the shadows-a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire. As the grand event draws near, more and more people seem determined to make the new reign a short one. While the empire stands on the edge of peril, Princess Natalia Paley becomes ensnared in a dangerous fascination with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk. Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the forces working against them. For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their once-passionate marriage. Irina, struggling with the demands of motherhood and her new life, throws herself into an ambitious project to improve the lives of those under her care-an endeavour that will challenge her in ways she never expected.

Qian Tong-her name literally means Money Copper-is the beloved daughter of a wealthy merchant family in Yangzhou. At her full-month banquet, a fortune-teller read her fate: - This girl will be either wealthy or noble in the future. Qian Tong didn't believe it. There's an old saying: wealth doesn't last past three generations, and poverty won't last beyond five kinship ranks. The Qian family was exactly at generation three with her. After learning that her family planned to marry her off with a dowry like a mountain of gold-betrothing her to the prefect's youngest son-Qian Tong decisively refused. She went to the docks herself and picked out the most shabby, penniless-looking young gentleman there... and threw a sack over him. Better to prepare for danger in peace. To dilute the world's hatred of the rich, she planned to sacrifice herself-marrying a poor lad to lower her family's "rich target value." The only son of the reigning Princess Royal, Song Yunzhi, could recite the Three-Character Classic at age three, write poetry at ten, and fought on the battlefield at sixteen. Brilliant in both civil and military arts, famed in his youth, he believed himself to have reached the peak of life. After four years of risking his life for the emperor, he received a new mission: Yangzhou's merchant clans were growing rampant. He was to investigate covertly. The moment he arrived in Yangzhou- A sack fell over his head. When he saw the light again, a little lady peeked at him through golden sunlight and narrowed her eyes in a smile: "Sir, I promise you a lifetime of wealth and glory. How about it?" First time seeing Qian Tong, Song Yunzhi sneered inwardly: "The one I'm here to investigate... is you!" Second time seeing Qian Tong: "Extravagant, immoral, every merchant is a crook. Investigate thoroughly!" One month later: begins doubting life. Six months later: "Qian Tong... where's my belt..." ORIGINAL TRANSLATION

A baby? On a battlefield? Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her. His best friend is no help; he thinks Marcus is a sucker for taking the kid in. The slave who ends up babysitting the child is no better; she thinks Marcus has ulterior motives - bad ones. Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.

Ambition fuels her every step - and nothing, not even her closest friend Hobbie Klivian, will distract her from success. But cracks are beginning to show in the polished veneer of Imperial order. Whispers of rebellion stir among her classmates. Lectures don't line up with the truth she sees for herself. And when loyalty clashes with conscience, Arden finds herself caught between the future she's worked for and the questions she's no longer able to ignore. As the Academy's final year grinds forward, Arden must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to belong - and whether loyalty to the Empire is worth the cost of her own heart. The Empire promised her purpose. Instead, it may cost her everything.
