Summary
Hai Meilin, the legendary woman warrior who secured victory for the kingdom of Anlai, faces new trials upon her return: imprisoned for wielding a sword as a woman, shunned within the palace, and pulled in multiple directions by those seeking to use her for their own ends.
To the east, a rebel leader urges her to lead a revolution; in the south, a former enemy prince seeks her aid; and at home, her first love Liu Sky requires her support in his bid for the throne. Beyond human politics, the sea dragon Qinglong demands repayment for the power Meilin wielded in the previous war.
Torn between loyalty, love, and the spirit realm, Meilin must navigate intrigue, rebellion, and supernatural danger while confronting the ravenous demands of the dragon that dwells within her. The Dragon Wakes with Thunder is a thrilling, action-packed conclusion to a duology that reimagines the legend of Mulan with magic, romance, and epic stakes.
