The Empress of Salt and Fortune (The Singing Hills Cycle, 1)

The Empress of Salt and Fortune is a stunning and original work of fantasy that will captivate readers with its richly detailed world-building, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes.

Set in an empire reminiscent of imperial China, the story follows the rise of the empress In-yo, a young royal from the far north who is sent south for a political marriage.

With few resources and fewer friends, In-yo must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics and find allies to help her claim her rightful place on the throne. Rabbit, a handmaiden sold by her parents to the palace, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and finds more than she bargained for.

Together, In-yo and Rabbit must confront the anger of women and the power of storytelling in this evocative debut that is both feminist high fantasy and an indictment of monarchy.

With a unique blend of magic, politics, and cultural influences, The Empress of Salt and Fortune is a must-read for fans of Nnedi Okorafor, Naomi Novik, and other leading voices in the genre.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable and timely tale of empowerment and resistance!
