[Legends Retold for RH 01] • SCALED · an Unexpected Shifter Romance (Legends Retold for RH)

**Mulan as you've never imagined. . .**

Set in the resplendent backdrop of ancient China, **SCALED** tells a tale about the Liú Sòng Dynasty of Nánqí, led by Emperor Zuòcí.  Nánqí is a euphonious nation and your musical talent determines your status within it.  Unfortunately for the Dàn family, they are tone-deaf and must live in the Shēngdiào Lóng region, or *The Toneless Zone*. 

Even worse, Dàn  Xuánlǜ isn’t just tone-deaf, she’s actually *deaf*.

When news spreads that the feared Tàbá wèi have invaded the Northern borders, the emperor calls for the Qí Liànxíqū to be awoken.  The Qí Liànxíqū is a fabled creature that has not been seen in Nánqí for over two hundred years.  A magical beast comprised of all the solfege tones, it can only be summoned and controlled by the most musically talented.

To save her brother, Xuánlǜ disguises herself and takes his place in the army. As a Tone Deaf, she knows that her only purpose will be to fight in the front lines.  In this kingdom, you’re expendable if you can’t carry a tune.  But Xuánlǜ has a secret. *She’s not mute like everyone assumes.* *Nor is she tone-deaf.*

And she might just be the only one who can control the Qí Liànxíqū and save The Liú Sòng Dynasty.

*This legendary retelling harmoniously blends together Mulan and the Chinese folk tale, Ten Brothers.  It’s a slow-burn reverse harem story told in the third person.  There is a glossary of all the names and meanings.  To preview a section, join MJ Marstens’ Facebook group today.[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MJMar...](https://www.facebook.com/groups/MJMarstensNR/)*
