When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister's murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade.

But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall--and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Stunning and heart-rending.\" --Chloe Gong, #1 bestselling author of\u003ci\u003e Immortal Longings \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eANN LIANG\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand Indie bestselling author of the critically acclaimed YA novels \u003ci\u003eThis Time It's Real\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e If You Could See the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e I Hope This Doesn't Find You\u003c\/i\u003e.
