After a failed insurrection, Ixin follows her lady Ai Jaruq to a Mongol queen's court to join in a wider revolt.
In the lost Khitan kingdom, there were women who found space to live unwed -- the 'women who lie alone in tombs', without husbands. Is that what Ixin wants, or can she strike out on a new type of life altogether?
A slice of thirteenth-century women's lives, mostly historical, with a zest of speculation.
