Ez most az igazi
Eliza ?Lin a tinédzserek átlagos életét éli – már ha átlagosnak lehet nevezni azt, hogy édesanyja munkája miatt évente költöznek, így a tizenhét éves lánynak folyamatosan új iskolatársakat kell megismernie, most épp egy pekingi nemzetközi iskolában. Ám miután élete szerelmének megtalálásáról szóló esszéje hirtelen virálissá válik, Eliza arra eszmél, hogy ő az osztály sztárja, ráadásul kedvenc magazinja kínál gyakornoki lehetőséget számára. Igazi tündérmese… leszámítva azt az apróságot, hogy Eliza semmiféle szerelemre sem talált, sőt még valódi kapcsolata sem volt. Esszéje teljes egészében kitaláció, no de az igazi művészet úgyis hazugság, nem?A lebukástól rettegő lány alkut köt az iskola szépfiújával, a modell és színész Caz Szunggal; segít neki megírni a felvételi esszéit, cserébe pedig az eszeveszetten jóképű fiú a barátjának adja ki magát. Caz álompasinak bizonyul: feltűnően üzenget neki az osztályban, megnevetteti Eliza kishúgát, és megmutatja neki Peking legjobb helyeit.Ám Eliza jövőről szőtt gondos tervei veszélybe kerülnek, amikor a kapcsolat kezd túl meggyőzővé válni. Mit tegyen: kövesse az álmait azon az áron is, hogy beleszakad a szíve?

A Song to Drown Rivers
Inspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China, A Song to Drown Rivers is an epic historical fantasy about womanhood, war, sacrifice and love against all odds as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance.
Her beauty hides a deadly purpose . . .
Since birth, Xishi’s extraordinary beauty has been seen as a blessing. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighbouring kingdom, improve the lives of her people and avenge her sister’s murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy and seduce their immoral king.
What neither Xishi nor Fanli expect is the doomed attraction that ignites between them. Even worse, Xishi soon finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king and his advisors. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher she climbs in the court, the further she and Fanli have to fall. And if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down . . .
