Beneath the Ink
In the imperial court of Heian Japan, words are everything — and nothing is ever said plainly. When a lady-in-waiting begins delivering the Empress's secret poems to a nobleman, she discovers the brilliant replies belong not to him but to his sister, a woman hidden behind a borrowed name for sixteen years. Their correspondence becomes two conversations layered inside one. A romance written entirely in ink and metaphor — between two women who can never meet. Until they must.
