MY LIFE AS EMPEROR

Journeys back in time to imperial China, to the court of a child emperor as it follows the life of a naive fourteen-year-old prince who finds himself unexpectedly named as emperor of an entire nation and is shaped by the power, cruelty, decadence, and intrigues of the royal court. By the author of Raise the Red Lantern.

First sentence: THE SUN, LIKE A BROKEN EGG YOLK, hung suspended behind the summit of Brass Rule Mountain on the frost-laden morning the Imperial Father passed away.
