Set in the 1850s in China, Su-Yin is sold into slavery by her family who cannot afford to feed her. She beomes a cook's assistant in the house of a powerful government official in Najing, and soon settles into a hard yet not brutal life as she is well-fed, has clean clothes and a bed, and is fairly treated. One day, however, when she is buying supplies in the market, she runs into her estranged older brother, who warns her that the city may soon be attacked by Taiping rebels who have sworn to kill anyone who is Manchu, and that includes the family she works for. This does indeed happen, and Su-Yin is forced to care for the only remaining member of the household, Li-Lin, her master's 4 year old daughter, by pretending she is her sister. With the help of another slave and her brother's friends, can Su-Yin reunite Li-Lin with her family far away?

Meryet is a beautician in the Pharoah's harem when the king's daughter Isis falls ill suddenly and dies. Everyone thinks she ate something bad until Meryet's father a surgeon and the embalmer do some investigation and believe she was poisoned. Who in the harem would do this and why is Meryet herself ( a close friend of Princess Isis) also considered a suspect. An interesting mystery set at the time of Rameses II.
