In the last years of the Azalea Dynasty, famine grips the land and poetry magic has nearly vanished except among the powerful. Wei Yin offers herself as concubine to a cruel prince to save her starving family, only to land in the middle of a palace on the edge of civil war. To survive, she has to learn to read in secret, outthink everyone around her, and write the most dangerous poem of her life. It's a story about power, sacrifice, and what a person becomes when they're pushed past their limits.
