The rules are simple. Survive the palace&rsquo;s enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Marry the prince. All are eligible to compete&mdash;all except y\u014dkai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span>Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren't hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a y\u014dkai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari&rsquo;s fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-y\u014dkai outcast.</span><br /><br /><span>Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy.</span></p>",
