☾Book I of the Lady of Dai☽

Years have passed since the Mad Emperor was deposed and peace has spread throughout Ordan, or so the people say. As the Fifth Dai Emperor ages and the end of his reign become inevitable, thoughts turn to the future and towards the vacant Crown Prince position, yet to be filled. The Imperial Sons bare their fangs and sharpen their swords for a brutal fight for supremacy. The last man standing must have more than intelligence or wealth--he must be willing to crush all opposition in his way. 

Mei, a foundling taken in by a ducal household is at the very fringe of the keen observers of these fights. Her duties and her concerns have little to do with the inevitable battle. That is until her life is upended and she is forced into the Imperial Court in order to preserve her own wellbeing.  Although her resolve is to keep her head down and live a simple life, the events around her make this impossible-she must not only live, she must survive, by choosing to ally herself with an unlikely individual-the Emperor's scandalous 8th son, the Prince Shen Jao. 

Intrigue, glamour, magic and mystery lurk the corridors of the Imperial Court, where trust is gold, wealth is king and blood flows like wine-but love and passion may be in the cards for the dissolute prince and the foundling with the scarlet eyes.
