Hippolyta

"I fell in love with you when I was dying." "I realized I love you when you died." An Ning never imagined that when she and her husband Richard divorced after he fell in love with another woman on their wedding day that her life would change so dramatically. Not only did memory loss triggers a complete change in her character, she also finds out her mother is a half wizard and her grandmother is a woman named Hippolyta, the great queen of the Amazons. Imbued with the wisdom and strength of the immortal women warriors, An Ning leads the Amazons into the biggest challenge of their lives: co-existing with mortals in war-free 21st century. But An Ning's and the Amazon's peaceful existence is shattered when the ex-husband she thought is dead pulls An Ning into the past where she wakes up in the body of a dead empress, whose husband has been assassinated. The kingdom is in chaos and it needs all of An Ning's cunning as an Amazon princess to survive and win over her enemies.
