Empress of all Seasons

How far will one girl go to become empress in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy for readers of Tomi Adeyemi and Laini Taylor

In a deadly tournament to become empress, any may enter but only one will survive, and one competitor doesn''t just plan to win, she''s going to steal the Emperor''s fortune. . .

In each generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. The rules are simple. Survive the palace''s enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, and you can marry the prince. All are eligible to compete - all except yokai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy.

Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren''t hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a yokai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari''s fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yokai outcast.

Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku.
