Nel romanzo ‘L’Imperatore e la Cavaliera’, l’emozione del potere femminile si intreccia con il brivido delle tensioni sociali. Pollyanna, forte come mai prima d’ora, combatte non solo una battaglia di prestigio ma per legittimare ogni scelta nel nuovo mondo in pace.
Marceline Croft from Montreal, Canada –
Initially, I approached ‘The Emperor and the Female Knight’ with a mix of skepticism. Historical fiction often oscillates between enthralling plots and dry retreads, yet this volume carves out an unusual niche by spotlighting Pollyanna’s ascent in a war-torn society heavily guarded by tradition. The personal conflicts bloom as familiar rivalries threaten her leadership within the imperial guard; readers can’t help but feel sucked into an engaging tug-of-war that’s both refreshing and deeply thought-provoking. Highlighted alongside her compelling journey is the unexpected unity she attempts to forge among those divided – remnants from two distinct sides of conflict resonating today more than ever.
