"Daughter of Xanadu" by Dori Jones Yang follows the story of Emmajin, the daughter of Kublai Khan’s favorite concubine. Set in 13th-century Mongolia, Emmajin navigates the complexities of her dual heritage, caught between her mother's Chinese roots and her father's Mongol legacy. As she seeks to prove her worth in a male-dominated society, Emmajin discovers her own strength and identity. When she forms a bond with a young warrior, their relationship is tested by the turbulent events of their time, including political intrigue and family loyalty. Emmajin's journey is one of empowerment, courage, and self-discovery. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
