    Summary

    Shortly after Akashi Seijuurou ascends the throne of the Great Teikou Empire, he marries his childhood sweetheart, Kuroko Tetsuya, and names him Empress. Yet the Empress cannot bear a child—an unspoken truth that hangs like a shadow over the palace. But Seijuurou is the Emperor. He is expected to produce an heir.

    Thus begins the selection of concubines: beautiful, cunning, ambitious and, above all, ruthless. Each will do whatever is necessary to secure a place in the Emperor’s heart and claim the coveted title of mother to the next ruler of Teikou.

    And yet the Crimson Forbidden Palace is a prison in all but name—a gilded cage, dazzling in its splendour, yet suffocating to the soul. Its vermilion walls, grand and imposing, offer no true freedom. They enclose not only space, but the lives and dreams of every concubine who dwells within them.
