Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An empire built on brilliance. A throne soaked in blood.For nearly three hundred years, one dynasty ruled over the most powerful civilization on earth, and it very nearly destroyed itself in the process.What you're about to discover will change how you see one of history's greatest empires. This is the story of the Tang Dynasty, told in full, from a duke who watched a crumbling empire and struck at exactly the right moment, to a prince who murdered his own brothers to seize a throne he was never meant to inherit. It is the story of Wu Zetian, the only woman ever to rule China as emperor in her own right, and of an aging emperor so consumed by love for one woman that he let his empire slide into the deadliest rebellion of the ancient world.Few people know that the same examination system built to reward talent over birth also produced the rejected candidate who would lead the largest peasant uprising in Chinese history. Fewer still understand how palace eunuchs, servants meant only to attend the throne, became the men who decided which emperors lived and which did not.The hidden truth behind the Tang Dynasty's golden age is that its brilliance and its brutality were never separate stories. They were the same story, and this book tells it whole, without flinching from either half.If you have ever wondered how a civilization builds itself into greatness, and how that same greatness can quietly become the seed of its own collapse, this book is for you. Readers of ancient history, dynastic drama, and epic true stories of power and betrayal will find themselves pulled through nearly three centuries of triumph, tragedy, and ruin, rendered with the pacing and emotional weight of a novel.This is not a distant, dusty account of dates and rulers. It is a story about ambition, love, betrayal, and the razor-thin line between empire and ashes, one that still has something to say about power today.Ready to uncover the truth behind one of history's greatest empires?
