Historical Fiction The Moon in the Palace Empress of Bright Moon, Book 1 By Weina Dai Randel In case you missed it! There is no easy path for a woman aspiring to power...            A concubine at the palace learns quickly that there are many ways to capture the Emperor’s attention. Many paint their faces white and style their hair attractively, hoping to lure in the One Above All with their beauty. Some present him with fantastic gifts, such as jade pendants and scrolls of calligraphy, while others rely on their knowledge of seduction to draw his interest. Young Mei knows nothing of these womanly arts, yet she will give the Emperor a gift he can never forget. Mei’s intelligence and curiosity, the same traits that make her an outcast among the other concubines, impress the Emperor. But just as she is in a position to seduce the most powerful man in China, divided loyalties split the palace in two, culminating in a perilous battle that Mei can only hope to survive.  Empress of Bright Moon Empress of Bright Moon, Book 2 By Weina Dai Randel The time for taking hold of her destiny is now            At the moment of the Emperor’s death, everything changes in the palace.  Mei, his former concubine, is free, and Pheasant, the heir and Mei’s lover, is proclaimed as the new Emperor, heralding a new era in China.
