With the heart of an Atwood tale and the visuals of a classic Asian period drama, Nghi Vo's The Empress of Salt and Fortune is a tightly and lushly written narrative about empire, storytelling, and the anger of women.

A young royal from the far north, is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully.

Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for.

At once feminist high fantasy and an indictment of monarchy, this evocative debut follows the rise of the empress In-yo, who has few resources and fewer friends. She's a northern daughter in a mage-made summer exile, but she will bend history to her will and bring down her enemies, piece by piece.

Praise for The Empress of Salt and Fortune

"An elegant gut-punch, a puzzle box that unwinds itself in its own way and in its own time. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Gorgeous. Cruel. Perfect. I didn't know I needed to read this until I did."--Seanan McGuire

A tale of rebellion and fealty that feels both classic and fresh, The Empress of Salt and Fortune is elegantly told, strongly felt, and brimming with rich detail. An epic in miniature, beautifully realised.--Zen Cho

Beautiful leather bag.
Size: UNIT, Color: Navy Blazernew British Tan
Absolutely beautiful bag. And at an amazing price compared to the Cole Haan website. Plenty of functionality and compartments. It will hold your MacBook and your iPad at the same time. And there's an exterior pocket for your iPhone. Very well made and extremely stylish.

Great bag!
Size: UNIT, Color: Black
Very nice quality leather! Beautiful bag! I used it one day and realized a messenger bag isn’t for me. I found the flap cumbersome to open so I switched to the more traditional Triboro briefcase.

Wanted to love it but for the price had next to no compartments for storage. There are better option that are less expensive.
