Daughter of Heaven by Nigel Cawthorne

Daughter of Heaven by Nigel Cawthorne

She was taken to the palace as a concubine for the Emperor. Using her beauty, wit, and powers of manipulation, she seduced her way to the throne of the most powerful empire in the world. She executed her enemies without mercy, and even murdered her own children for political gain. She set up her own imperial harem made up of young men. She elected herself a living god and held a ruthless reign of terror for over fifty years. In this sensational true story, bestselling author Nigel Cawthorne reveals the dark and dramatic story of the only woman ever to rule China, Wu Chao: concubine, manipulator, politician, murderer, Emperor. From her instruction in the art of love by palace officials, to her eventual sticky end, this book opens a window into the colourful world of Tang Dynasty in China - a world of sex and of power. This book is a cross between "Gone with the Wind" and "Fatal Attraction", you won't be able to put it down!

Nigel Cawthorne lives in London, England.
