    Summary

    Shortly after Akashi Seijuurou ascends the throne of the Great Teikou Empire, he marries his childhood sweetheart, Kuroko Tetsuya, and names him Empress. Yet the Empress cannot bear a child, an unspoken truth that hangs like a shadow over the palace. But Seijuurou is the Emperor. He is expected to produce an heir.

    Thus begins the selection of concubines: beautiful, cunning, ambitious and, above all, ruthless. Each will do whatever is necessary to secure a place in the Emperor’s heart and claim the coveted title of mother to the next ruler of Teikou.

    And yet the Crimson Forbidden Palace is a prison in all but name, a gilded cage, dazzling in its splendour, yet suffocating to the soul. Its vermilion walls, grand and imposing, offer no true freedom. They enclose not only space, but the lives and dreams of every concubine who dwells within them.

    Summary

    There is no denying that Edogawa Conan is a genius. Furuya Rei has long known that prodigious minds emerge throughout history, yet none can truly be compared to him. It is as though, amidst the multitude, they recognise one another, kindred spirits bound by intellect, quick wit, and ripostes too finely honed for lesser minds to grasp.

    Or perhaps it is Rei’s own investigation that inexorably draws him towards Shinichi: brilliant, at times disarmingly manipulative, ever unpredictable, and utterly captivating.

    Summary

    Opposites may well attract when one is dealing with magnets. With people, however, matters are far less tidy, messy, irrational, dangerously unpredictable. There are sayings, of course: opposites attract; birds of a feather flock together, and each holds its measure of truth.

    Yet it is shared likenesses that bind most strongly. Shared experiences. Shared burdens. Shared intellect.

    Despite their outward differences, they are remarkably alike. It is only natural that they should be drawn to one another.
