Mulan must face a new kind of war . . . this time, as Empress of
China. Disney's The Queen's Council series imagines each beloved
Princess coming into power as ruler of her land, guided by a magical
force that weaves their tales together.
The war is over. Now a renowned hero, Mulan spends her days in her home
village, training a militia of female warriors. The peace is a welcome
one, and she knows it must be protected.
When Shang arrives with an invitation to the Imperial City, Mulan's
relatively peaceful life is upended once more. The aging emperor decrees
that Mulan will be his heir to the throne. Such unimagined power and
responsibility terrifies her, but who can say no to the Emperor?
As Mulan ascends into the halls of power, it becomes clear that not
everyone is on her side. Her ministers undermine her, and the Huns sense
a weakness in the throne. When hints of treachery appear even amongst
those she considers friends, Mulan has no idea whom she can trust.
But the discovery of a mysterious, ancient magic helps Mulan uncover her
true destiny. With renewed strength and the wisdom of those that came
before her, Mulan will own her power, save her country, and prove once
again that, crown or helmet, she was always meant to lead. This fierce
reimagining of the girl who became a warrior blends fairy-tale lore and
real history with a Disney twist.***
