Empress Wu Zetian - Paperback - 9798227788122

In a world of corruption and intrigue, Wu Zetian's rise to power as China's only female emperor is unparalleled. Starting as a concubine of Emperor Taizong, Wu Zetian was forced into a temple after his death, only to return to the palace through cunning and fierce ambition. With her husband, Emperor Gaozong, she ruled as one of the "Two Saints," but after his death, she seized control and became the undisputed ruler of the Tang Dynasty. At 65, she usurped her own son to claim the throne, renaming the dynasty Wu Zhou. Known for both her brilliant leadership and ruthless tactics, Wu Zetian eliminated rivals and even family members to secure her place in history. This novel captures her bloody ascent, political savvy, and reign of ambition.
