"In his critically acclaimed novel Under Heaven, Guy Gavriel Kay told a vivid and powerful story inspired by China's Tang Dynasty. Now (the author) revisits that invested setting four centuries later with an epic of prideful emperors, battling courtiers, bandits and soldiers, nomadic invasions, and a young woman at war in her own way to find a new place for women in the world--a world inspired this time by the glittering, decadent Song Dynasty."--Jacket.
