- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ling Suyin is the late Emperor’s favorite young concubine, now retired to a much longed for quiet life, until the Warlord Li Tao comes for her when he receives word another warlord has sent assassins after her. Tao knows he is being manipulated but he does not know who is doing it so he keeps Suyin close hoping to solve the mystery. Tao is complex & complicated man with various old & new loyalties. Suyin was trained from childhood to manipulate men to her will. Neither trusts the other but they will need to to avert a civil war. The plot moves along at a nice pace with enough twists & revelations to keep the interest. The tension between Suyin & Tao is well done with great dialogue. I found the ending wrapped up a little too neatly but that is the only complaint I have with it.* disclaimer – I was given this book free from NetGalley in return for this review
