Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. She didn't just survive the pirate king. She became one.Canton, 1801. In the humid, decaying splendor of the Pearl River, Shih Yang is a prized commodity. A high-ranking courtesan on the floating "flower boats," she trades in more than just flesh. She trades in secrets-cultivating a mental ledger of every corrupt official and smuggler who enters her silk-draped cage.But Shih Yang isn't waiting for a savior. She's waiting for an empire.When the notorious pirate warlord Zheng Yi raids the harbor, it isn't a stroke of misfortune. Shih Yang orchestrated the attack herself to escape a lethal debt. Standing before the ruthless pirate king, she refuses the life of a concubine and instead proposes a cold-blooded merger: she will marry him, but only if he signs a contract granting her fifty percent of his assets and joint command of his legendary fleet.She is no warrior, but she is a master of the hostile takeover. As Shih Yang begins transforming a chaotic confederation of outlaws into a disciplined naval empire, the stakes turn deadly: The Hunter: Admiral Bai Ling, a ruthless Imperial official, is closing in, guided by a mole hidden within the fleet's highest ranks.The Rival: Veteran captains, led by the envious O-po-tae, view a former courtesan in power as a cancer to be excised.The Son: Zheng Yi's adopted heir, the violent and charismatic Cheung Po Tsai, watches her every move with a volatile mix of hatred and a dark, burgeoning obsession.Then, a massive typhoon strikes. Zheng Yi is lost overboard, and the fleet fractures.Surrounded by bloodthirsty men ready to divide the spoils and cast her to the sea, Shih Yang must play her final, fatal card: she is the only one who knows where the treasury is buried. And she is the only one with the key.In a world of fire and salt, the flower is gone. Only the blade remains.Perfect for fans of immersive historical fiction, cutthroat political intrigue, and fierce female protagonists. Discover the breathtaking tale inspired by the true story of the most successful pirate in history. This item is printed on demand.
