From the bestselling author of Daughters of the Dragon comes the
story of one of the most extraordinary queens in history. As
tensions rise on the Korean peninsula, US diplomat Nate Simon is
sent to Seoul to gauge the political situation and advise the
president. He also needs to find out why someone sent the president
an ancient, intricately carved comb with an ivory inlay of a
two-headed dragon. Though familiar with Korea's language and
culture, Nate knows little of its troubled history. Beautiful and
mysterious embassy aide Anna Carlson believes it's time he learns,
starting with the extraordinary story of Korea's last queen. Seoul,
1866. The beautiful orphan Ja-young is chosen to be the child bride
of Gojong, Korea's boy king. Highly intelligent but shy, Ja-young
faces a choice: she can be a stone queen-silent and submissive-or
she can be a dragon queen and oppose enemies and empires that try
to rule Korea during the age of imperialism. Her choice leads her
to forge a legend that will endure far beyond her lifetime. The
more Nate discovers, the more he comes to realize that Queen Min's
story is still relevant today. Now the choice is up to him: be
submissive and accepting...or change the world.
