Joan He Ordre des livres (chronologique)

From New York Times and Indie bestselling author Joan He, comes Sound the Gong , the dazzling, sweeping conclusion to the critically-acclaimed Kingdom of Three duology.

Set in the chaotic era of the Xin Dynasty, the story follows Zephyr, a skilled strategist and orphan, as she navigates a fractured realm ruled by a puppet empress and ambitious warlordesses. Serving the last loyal lordess, Zephyr faces moral dilemmas in a treacherous landscape where betrayal is inevitable.
