The Foreign Empress

A cold and potentially fatal marriage, an imperial court embroiled in assassination and conflict, a hidden conspiracy that could shatter not just a four-century-long peace but the empire itself. In the midst of it all, a girl whose struggle to survive might be tied to the fate of sixty million souls.

Fleeing a marriage arranged by her father, the Equestrian Governor of Thracia, Aurelia Venerius enlists in the legions of the Roman Empire. However, an ill-fated campaign leaves her a prisoner of war in the Parthian Empire, thousands of miles from home. Fate is not done with Aurelia yet though. With more than a passing resemblance to the Shah's favorite daughter, Aurelia is sent off to the distant Han Dynasty in the princess's place. As a foreign princess, Aurelia must survive the deadly machinations of the court and her husband, the ruthless head of the imperial secret police, the Eighth Prince. Little does she know, however, that the clock is ticking down to a rebellion that will trigger one of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
