Plum Rain

A Novel of the Tang Dynasty
By Tracey Wagstaff

In the mist-laden city of Chang'an, where poetry and duty intertwine, Lady Meiyu's fate is sealed by tradition. Bound to an arranged marriage with the noble scholar Shen Wenjing, she is expected to fulfill her role as a daughter of an esteemed family. Yet, as the Festival of Ghosts approaches, a whisper in the wind tells a different story.

A chance encounter at the river's edge reveals a presence unseen-a woman in white, veiled in mist, watching Meiyu from beyond the grave. As strange visions unfold and shadows creep into her reflection, Meiyu begins to doubt the world around her. The whispers of the past grow stronger, unraveling secrets buried beneath the weight of duty and desire.

Shen Wenjing, a man of poetry and reason, sees the subtle shifts in Meiyu's demeanor-her hesitation, her distance, the way her reflection lingers when she moves. But when the whispers turn to mimicry, and the ghost's presence becomes undeniable, he is forced to confront a terrifying truth.

Is Meiyu haunted by a restless spirit-or is something far more sinister trying to take her place?

Steeped in the elegance of the Tang Dynasty, Plum Rain is a haunting tale of love, identity, and the thin veil between the living and the dead.
