The Pirate Empress — Deborah Cannon

Amid the wars and power struggles of Men and Demons, a Chinese Princess sacrifices herself and all she loves to save the Empire from a scheming Fox Faerie, and keep the Cosmos in balance. With the scope of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," and the evocativeness of Roger Zelazny's "Great Book of Amber," THE PIRATE EMPRESS is an epic saga of love and betrayal, honor and hope, war -- and ultimate sacrifice in Ming Dynasty China.
