The Pearl Concubine (A Qing Court Novel, #2) / A Qing Court Novel (ePub)

From USA Today bestselling author Amanda Roberts comes the highly anticipated next book in the Qing Dynasty Court series that will leave you captivated until the very last page. The story of a girl who defied an empress-and became a legend.

Almost everyone has heard the story of my death. What they haven't heard is the story of my life...

At only 12 years old, Pearl was given to the emperor as a concubine. Dressing like a boy, running wild, and speaking her mind, she quickly became the emperor's favorite, but she was too young and naïve to understand why.

Pearl was supposed to fade into obscurity, be forgotten by time, as countless imperial concubines before her had done.

But that was not Pearl.

Caught between an imperial court rooted in the past and a country hurtling toward the future, Pearl refused to be silenced by the oppressive rules of the court.

When Pearl's ambitions threaten the stability of the dynasty, she has no idea what consequences could follow. Her story is one of bravery, love, and unyielding determination in a world that sought to break her. She rushed headlong toward her destiny-and paid the ultimate price.

Immerse yourself in this heart-wrenching historical drama that will transport you to a time and place where powerful women were the exception, not the rule. The Pearl Concubine vividly portrays a girl who history remembers merely as a tragic heroine-but was so much more.
