Instead of mourning, Shek Yeung launches a new plan: immediately marrying her husband's second-in-command, and agreeing to bear him a son and heir, in order to retain power over her half of the fleet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as Shek Yeung vies for control over the army she knows she was born to lead, larger threats loom. The Chinese Emperor has charged a brutal, crafty nobleman with ridding the South China Seas of pirates, and the Europeans-tired of losing ships, men, and money to Shek Yeung's alliance-have new plans for the area. Even worse, Shek Yeung's cutthroat retributions create problems all their own. As Shek Yeung navigates new motherhood and the crises of leadership, she must decide how long she is willing to fight, and at what price, or risk losing her fleet, her new family, and even her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA book of salt and grit, blood and sweat, \u003ci\u003eDeep as the Sky, Red as the Sea \u003c\/i\u003eis an unmissable portrait of a woman who leads with the courage and ruthlessness of our darkest and most beloved heroes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRita Chang-Eppig\u003c\/b\u003e received her MFA from NYU.
