She thought that the favor of the emperor would keep her safe. She was wrong. At the center of power and privilege, Daiyu is now in more danger than she ever imagined. No longer able to hide among the countless palace ladies, as empress, Daiyu cannot escape the jealousy and scheming of the other women who would do anything to take her place. But that is not the only danger Daiyu faces. Foreign enemies besiege Peking, sacking the city and forcing the imperial family to flee for their lives. War changes everything. With enemies lurking in every corner, Daiyu, the girl from the streets, must step into a role she was never born to play. All of China depends on it.

Kristen Morrin is the last descendent of the imperial family of Dori. For 600 years, Dorites have been oppressed under the merciless rule of the Eranian Empire. If Kristen's identity becomes known, she will be killed or enslaved. Tensions between Eranians and the underground organization Free Dori are on the rise in Duras, a former Eranian colony. Kristen stumbles into friendship with Tylen Jerrel, the arrogant son of a critically ill Eranian nobleman. She becomes entangled in the escapades and excess that are part of everyday life for the Jerrel family. Media scrutiny and divisive politics threaten to reveal not just Kristen's secrets but Tylen's as well.

The Bohrean Empire is inhabited by dual-entity beings: a cognate (think human) formthat interacts with other cognates in daily lifepaired with an animal alter-being that, although in communication with its cognate, needs to be controlled to prevent its animal presence in cognate-governed society. Once a righteous monarchy with the usual predator/prey issues between cognates, the empire is now deeply divided by prejudices fueled from the crimson Khedive currently occupying the throne. The unknown yet powerful empress and her cognate find themselves inexplicably drawn toward the preeminent heir to that throne. But is that attraction worth risking both themselves and all the blood-bornes in the Empire? Or is hidden a state that should remain their refuge for life?

Where Theodora went, trouble followed…. In sixth-century Constantinople, one woman, Theodora, defied every convention and all the odds and rose from common theater tart to empress of a great kingdom, the most powerful woman the Roman Empire would ever know. The woman whose image was later immortalized in glittering mosaic was a scrappy, clever, conniving, flesh-and-blood woman full of sensuality and spirit whose real story is as surprising as any ever told…. After her father dies suddenly, Theodora and her sisters face starvation and a life on the streets. Determined to survive, Theodora makes a living any way she can—first on her back with every man who will have her, then on the stage in a scandalous dramatization of her own invention. When her daring performance grants her a backdoor entry into the halls of power, she seizes the chance to win a wealthy protector—only to face heartbreak and betrayal. Ever resilient, Theodora rises above such trials and, by a twist of fate, meets her most passionate admirer yet: the emperor’s nephew. She thrives as his confidant and courtesan, but many challenges lie ahead. For one day this man will hand her a crown. And all the empire will wonder—is she bold enough, shrewd enough, and strong enough to keep it? READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III A HOME OF MY OWN In the year whose early weeks witnessed the events described in the last chapter, a change was made in my surroundings, and my little household (if I may call it by such a name) was increased in size. First came the installation of an English nurse, Miss Ives, who was also entrusted with the care of Laura Kaiser. Soon after the appointment, however, trouble arose. Miss Ives had occasion once to punish Laura for stamping her foot, which she did by striking the offender across the legs with a strap. Upon this Laura rebelled, biting Miss Ives severely on the hand. The English governess at once tendered her resignation. This was not accepted, for she was in possession of my mother's secret, and was, moreover, much trusted by her. Unfortunately for myself, as will be seen, I was of much less warlike a nature than my foster-sister, and so Miss Ives was prevailed upon to continue in charge of me, provided that Laura's nursery and mine were entirely separated. This gave my mother a long-desired opportunity of making an alteration in my place of residence, so as to bring me nearer to her. In the course of a few weeks I was taken away from the Kaisers' house and installed in a home of my own, with me going Miss Ives, a French governess called Mademoiselle Pidon, who had been engaged by Mrs. Kaiser to superintend my education, Alois Pirker, and some women-servants. My new home was at Lainz, not then, as it is now, a suburb of Vienna. Here I had been before. But this time it was not in my mother's chateau that I lived. A house near by had been taken for me, a two-story building in the middle of a fine park, within whose bounds I took my walks. On the ground floor was the hall, a big sitting- room, a dining-room, a study for me, and a small drawing-room...

Excerpt from The Secret of an Empress Two questions have often been asked me by people who have known part only of my life-story; and it seems to me that before I begin to tell the whole of that story I should do well to answer them. The first question is, Why did the Empress Elisabeth wish to bring me up as she did, away from the Court? The second is, Why does the Emperor Francis-Joseph refuse me recognition? Why, then, did the Empress bring me up as she did? It is, I suppose, fairly well known that the Court of Vienna is still under the rule of a code of etiquette which dates from the sixteenth century. But I doubt whether more than a very few outside the Court itself realise how crushing the code is. I shall have occasion later to refer to it in some detail, and shall here speak only of that portion of it which concerns the Empress's position. In Austria the sovereign's wife is a person standing entirely by herself. The Emperor himself is above her, and she is not permitted to go to see him as she wishes. There are always the ceremonies of asking permission before a meeting, and of announcing the approach. All the rest of the Court is below the Empress, and not one of her relatives even may see her without obtaining leave some time beforehand, through the Grand Mistress or her deputy. This may not be considered a great hardship so far as ordinary relatives are concerned, nor indeed anything out of the way in a high rank of society. But, in so far as the rule applies to the intercourse of mother and child, it becomes tragic in its cruelty. Mere archdukes and archduchesses may associate freely with their children, who are of the same status as themselves. The Emperor and Empress, on the other hand, are hedged round with restrictions.
