What she'll do when she finds out the truth. . . Only the heavens know.

Featuring gorgeous map art and black-and-white portraits, Sound the Gong is the second book in Joan He's riveting Kingdom of Three duology that explores human greed and ambition in a war-torn world. Don't miss the epic beginning in Strike the Zither!
