About this ebook

Opening with a child's ascension to the Chinese throne, Su Tong's latest novel charts the complexities of courtly life, as a boy of few talents is suddenly thrust into a position of power. An extraordinary and chilling dramatisation of the dark side of nation-building, it is also a deft exploration of the failings of human nature.
