About this audiobook
The Liao Dynasty: A History of China, Part Two plunges you into the rise and fall of one of China’s most remarkable empires. From the Khitan steppe warriors to the powerful empresses who ruled beside emperors, this is a story of ambition, brilliance, and betrayal. At its heart stands Empress Xiao Yanyan, a strategist and regent whose leadership during the Peace of Chanyuan reshaped East Asia, alongside Emperor Shengzong, who grew from a child ruler into a wise sovereign. Yet within the court, rivalries and treachery threatened everything — from Yelü Yixin’s dangerous ascent to the uprisings that shook the throne. As the Jurchen Jin rose and alliances crumbled, the Khitan legacy found new life under Yelü Dashi’s Western Liao, only to be undone by Kuchlug’s rebellion. From Manchuria to the Silk Road, this is a saga of power, loss, and enduring spirit.
