   Book One of the T’ang Trilogy, alongside SHORE OF PEARLS and THE COURT OF THE LION, is a critically acclaimed international bestseller, now available on major platforms. Set in China's rich history, it tells the story of Wu Tse-tien, the only female Emperor, known as the Iron Empress. Rising from court concubine to power, she ruthlessly eliminates obstacles, including her own daughter, and seduces Emperor Kaotsung, a man overshadowed by his legendary father, Emperor Taitsung. Kaotsung's reign is complicated by the Council of Six, advisors who represent Taitsung's legacy, and by Lady Wu, a favored consort of his father. In the port city of Yangchou, Magistrate Ti Ren-chieh, a figure reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, investigates a series of murders. His rational and compassionate approach leads him through the dark underbelly of society, away from his chaotic home life. As he delves into the mysteries, he confronts the complexities of Buddhism and the criminal mind. Meanwhile, Empress Wu, with the help of her mother and lover Hsueh Huai-i, navigates the challenges posed by her gender to seize ultimate power. The narrative intertwines their paths, culminating in a dramatic confrontation that reveals deep secrets and prophecies. This engaging tale is filled with intrigue, betrayal, and unexpected twists, promising to captivate readers.

Mais il ne désarme pas. Il peut confondre l'impératrice Wu. Elle le hait mais la loi est du côté du juge.
