As tensions rise on the Korean peninsula, US diplomat Nate Simon is sent to Seoul to gauge the political situation and advise the president. He also needs to find out why someone sent the president an ancient, intricately carved comb with an ivory inlay of a two-headed dragon. Though familiar with Koreaโs language and culture, Nate knows little of its troubled history. Beautiful and mysterious embassy aide Anna Carlson believes itโs time he learns, starting with the extraordinary story of Koreaโs last queen.

Her choice leads her to forge a legend that will endure far beyond her lifetime.
The more Nate discovers, the more he comes to realize that Queen Minโs story is still relevant today. Now the choice is up to him: be submissive and acceptingโฆor change the world.
