When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighbouring kingdom, improve the lives of her people and avenge her sister’s murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy and seduce their immoral king.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat neither Xishi nor Fanli expects is the doomed attraction that ignites between them. Even worse, Xishi soon finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king and his advisors. A brutality lurks behind his gentleness, and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher she climbs in the court, the further she and Fanli have to fall. And if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China, \u003ci\u003eA Song to Drown Rivers \u003c\/i\u003eis an epic historical fantasy about womanhood, war, sacrifice and love against all odds, as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy readers love \u003ci\u003eA Song to Drown Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘I am STUNNED\u003c\/b\u003e by just how beautiful this was’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘This book \u003cb\u003ewill break your heart\u003c\/b\u003e in a way only a talented author can do’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003cb\u003eEnded up reading until 2 a.m.\u003c\/b\u003e on a work night . \u003cb\u003eBeautiful writing\u003c\/b\u003e and characters’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003cb\u003eAmazing \u003c\/b\u003e.
