A Song to Drown Rivers by Ann Liang

A Song to Drown Rivers is the adult historical fiction debut by New York Times bestselling author Ann Liang. Released to critical acclaim, this lush, heart-wrenching novel marks a major departure from her popular contemporary young adult romances (If You Could See the Sun, This Time It's Real), stepping into an epic world of political intrigue, court espionage, and tragic romance.

The novel is a direct, lyrical reimagining of the ancient Chinese legend of Xishi (Xi Shi), one of the legendary Four Beauties of Ancient China whose striking looks were said to have altered the course of history.

The story takes place during the chaotic Spring and Autumn period of China, where the kingdom of Yue has been brutally conquered by the neighboring rival kingdom of Wu. Xishi, a humble village girl grieving the murder of her sister by enemy soldiers, catches the eye of Fanli, the brilliant and enigmatic young military advisor to the King of Yue.

Fanli offers Xishi a deadly proposition: weaponize her breathtaking beauty to save her people. Her mission is to infiltrate the Wu palace as a spy, climb the dangerous ranks of the royal court, seduce the young and formidable King Fuchai, and quietly tear the enemy kingdom apart from the inside.
