In this exciting novel from USA Today best-selling author Amanda Roberts,
the story of the slow march toward the fall of the Qing Dynasty comes
to life in vivid detail, revealing a world of love, sex, ambition, and
intrigue surrounding the world of empresses, princesses, consorts, and
concubines, and the emperors they served.History books may tell about the fall of the Qing Dynasty. But they haven’t told my story…Born
to a family of wealth and privilege, Zhenxiu was trained from a young
age to become the wife of a very powerful man, though she prayed it
would not be Prince Yizhu, the future Xianfeng Emperor, a man with cruel
and salacious appetites. The sudden death of the prince’s consort,
however, thrusts fifteen-year-old Zhenxiu into the prince’s bed and the
center of the Qing Court, a court still reeling from the aftershocks of
the Opium War.Zhenxiu
finds solace in the friendship of a girl named Lanhua, and she does her
best to help her friend rise in the emperor’s estimation. When the
emperor dies and leaves only Lanhua’s five-year-old son as his heir,
Zhenxiu finds herself as the de facto ruler of China, a position she was
never trained to occupy. As she leans more and more on Lanhua for help,
she slowly comes to realize that Lanhua’s ambition has no bounds. An
ambition that could get them both killed.The
Other Empress is a riveting historical drama that brings to light the
story of an empress who stood at the helm of the Qing Dynasty for more
than twenty years. An empress overshadowed by the strong presence of the
woman who would prove to be her dearest friend—and her most dangerous
rival.#teaser
