This is a story of a love that endures through the pain and travails of fourteenth century politics. Princess Mei Li from Ming China raises an army in the back waters of ancient Temasek. She suspects a ministerial coup against her king. Should she tell or shouldn't she? Will she save her king in time? and from whom? Despite all her good intentions, everything she does seems to drive her king into the arms of another. Does her king blame her for his losses in battle? Through this journey, she turns the table by amassing an army of her own. See how the tables are turned by the end of this novel.

This is also the story of Parameswara, the king whose love and politics pull his heart in different directions and ultimately tear his kingdom apart. Whose gods does he call on in the battlefield, and which gods does he fear most on Forbidden Hill? Is his final battle the one he lost, or the one he won, or the one that rages in his heart? As he rushes to his climatic ending, his secrets are revealed and we know why for four centuries thereafter, no one dared to climb the Forbidden Hill!

This is an epic journey through a Singapura whose glory is both short and dramatic. Ultimately, it is also a love story that stares right into the heart of a man pulled in more than one direction.
