Secret betrayals and sinister intrigues abound in the court of the T'ang-but none as deadly as those hatched by the Chinease emperor's favored consort,
Wu Tse-tien. In this breathtaking realm of perilous splendor, the beautiful, ruthless concubine conspires to win a throne through betrayal, seduction, perversion...and the heinous slaughter of innocents. But as a plague of terror and death sweeps across the land, one man vows to find the cure-a brilliant Confucian investigator and dedicated magistrate who must risk his life to expose the Dark aLady's evil machinations...for the sake of horor and the fading flory of a fragile, imperiled Empire.
