The Storm in the Palace: a Story of Historical Coups

About This Novel

The book uses history as its sutra and people as its weft, integrating the real historical events from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty into a vivid narrative - from the usurpation of the throne by powerful ministers to the deposed emperors, from plotting to kill to the blood-stained golden palace, every change of power is a battle of wisdom, courage and humanity. Readers can not only see how Li Shimin seized power and proclaimed himself emperor and governed the world, but also gained insight into Zhu Di's ambitions and Cixi's intentions behind the curtain. The characters in the book are vivid and the plot is ups and downs, recreating the undercurrent of dynasty change like an epic.
