The General's promise
As I sit down to describe my book, "The General's Promise", a surge of excitement and anticipation has overcome me. This story has been brewing in my mind for quite some time, and I'm eager to share it with readers.
Within this historical romance, I introduce the readers to General Xiao Hong, a brilliant and fearless warrior respected and admired by his peers. After one vicious battle, though, Xiao Hong fakes a crippling injury for cover from his enemies and protection of his life.
As Xiao Hong navigates through the intricacies of court life, he is summoned by the Emperor to marry Mei Xing, a daughter of a humble duke, sweet and kind as anyone would want in a wife. I have to confess, I have fallen in love with the character of Mei Xing while writing her; for indeed, she stands out to be the true innocent, her heart fully made of love and compassion.
The more Xiao Hong is with Mei Xing, the heavier his heart weighs down, being enchanted by her beauty and charm. He must also keep his real identity concealed from those who would destroy him. Will he find a balance for his duty as a warrior with this new love, or will his secrets tear them apart?
I hope my readers will accompany me on the journey of learning about the convolutions of honor, loyalty, and love that existed in ancient China. "The General's Promise" is an appealing historical romance that I have shared with great pride to audiences worldwide.
