Description
The Dragon Queen by William Andrews is a gripping historical thriller that explores the tumultuous world of 19th-century Korea. Set against the backdrop of imperial expansion and social upheaval, this story follows the extraordinary life of one of Asia's most fascinating queens. In 1866, Ja-young, an orphaned girl, is chosen to be the child bride of Gojong, Korea's boy king. As she navigates the complexities of palace politics and royal duty, Ja-young must decide whether to conform to tradition or forge her own path. Her choice has far-reaching consequences that will shape the course of Korean history. As tensions rise on the Korean peninsula, a US diplomat becomes embroiled in a mystery surrounding an ancient comb with a two-headed dragon motif. As he delves deeper into the story of Queen Min's life and legacy, he begins to realize that her tale is still relevant today - and that the choice between submission and resistance is one that still resonates deeply.
