The Duchess of War

In a war-torn empire where military glory is the only path to power, a brilliant young woman disguises herself as a man to join the elite ranks of the imperial army. Armed with unmatched tactical genius and haunted by a family secret, she rises from scorned recruit to legendary commander through sheer cunning and battlefield brilliance. Amid clashing warlords, court conspiracies, and an invading horde, she must outthink enemies, conceal her identity, and earn the trust of a cold-hearted general who becomes her greatest ally—and forbidden love. This is a sweeping tale of honor, sacrifice, and the relentless climb from obscurity to immortality in a world where every victory could be her last.
