Tales from the Sui Dynasty

The Sui rose in a burst of glory and fell just as suddenly. In only thirty-eight years, it bloomed and faded like an ephemeral flower, leaving later generations with endless sighs. Through vivid storytelling, this book brings to life the achievements and failings of two emperors and the rise and fall of their dynasty, revealing the turbulent history of how the Great Sui unified a fractured realm, flourished, and then declined.
