Han is a pretty child...pretty enough to sell to the House of Wu. There amidst unimaginable luxury, the headstrong girl and the boy who will become her master begin a friendship that later turns to passion. But the heir to the House of Wu is fated for an arragned marriage...as the bondmaid Han faces a future of virtual slavery that includes servicing the House's pleasure-seeking guests. Penniless, surrounded by whispered secrets, and desperately in love, Han chooses to claim the man she believes to be hers...and sweeps us into a chilling drama that captures both the beauty and brutality of a world only decades away from our own.
