The Dandelion Dynasty, the epic fantasy trilogy by Ken Liu, continues with its second installment. Dara has been united under the Emperor Ragin, once known as Kuni Garu, the bandit king. After six years of peace, the Dandelion Throne rests on the bloody foundations of Kuni's betrayal of his friend, Mata Zyndu, the Hegemon. The Hegemon's rule was brutal and unforgiving, but he died well, leaving behind a legend that haunts the new emperor, no matter how good his intentions may be.

War once forged unbreakable bonds within Kuni's inner circle, but peace now gnaws at their loyalties. Ancient wisdoms once held sway, but a brilliant scholar promises a philosophical revolution. And from the far north, over the horizon, comes a terrible new threat... The scent of blood is in the water.

As the empire reels from the aftermath of Kuni's treachery, Dara must navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue and power struggles.
