Ticana Zhu

An expertly crafted historical drama charged with political intrigue.

Ticana Zhu is a gifted writer, painting gorgeous, sweeping scenes of ancient China during the Xia Dynasty, the setting of Dynasty of Summer: Part One. The story is fast-paced, with action and peril lurking around every corner, which quickly draws the reader into the beautiful and dangerous world of Tai Xia (Summer), an Emperor’s daughter caught in the treacherous crosshairs of political warfare.

Yet Zhu also takes time to weave into the swift action, detailed and vivid scenes of Imperial life as Summer evolves from a sheltered Princess into a kind, just, and brave young woman, as well as delights readers with a sweet, blossoming love story that brews just under the surface.

I was swept away by the story and it left me wanting to read more, so I look forward to reading the conclusion in Dynasty of Summer: Part Two.… (altro)
