A 21-year-old seems to slip through time on an exchange trip to China and ends up in a time period and land not known to any of our history books. Aside from the fact that there is a language barrier and open hostility due to her foreignness and dark skin, she also has to contend with the fact that she is all alone in a strange, magical, ancient empire with no way home in sight.
One moment away from being executed, she catches the eye of the 17-year-old Crown Prince and is forcefully given to him as a concubine. Despite her reservations and modern ideals, she has to go along with it to keep her life... despite the fact that he is already married to the Empress' niece and has a sickly son she is forced to act as nanny to.
As she desperately tries to figure out how to get back home, she slowly falls in love with the Prince, his son, and his people. But politics is a dangerous game; all eyes are on the throne. A target is on her husband's back, threatening to catch anyone he holds dear in the cross hairs.
Join Mercy as she battles a jealous wife, conquers dragons, bonds with an adorable little boy, and becomes the most powerful and beloved woman in the empire with only one person above and and ten million below.
Warning: This is a book set in an ancient time period where people don't have the same mindsets, values, and morals as modern times, including but not limited to: marriage, women, race, and the value of human life. It will reflect as such.

In a desperate bid to survive, the nine kingdoms united to form the Xandorian Empire. Despite their differences, they were bound by a single purpose: to fight the growing darkness. In this new empire, every teenager reaching seventeen is conscripted to fight. Their paths as either warriors, scribes, or dragon riders chosen for them by fate.
