The Emperor's Regret is an original folktale that tells the story of a popular young emperor who decides to renounce his former lifestyle for another. When he is confronted with a surprising reality, it changes his perspective on his very existence. Can he endure the twists and turns his life is about to take?
While on a nighttime safari in Botswana, Africa, Barbara witnessed a leopard stalking baboons for an evening meal. It was a tense moment for her, and later, that riveting scene inspired her to write The Emperor's Regret.Set in a tropical rainforest in Eastern Asia, the book tells the story of Paheni, a troubled young emperor whose ultimate goal is to find a life with less responsibility. Annoyed by the burdens of royalty, he relinquishes his birthright to seek a more carefree existence. He summons Haknobee, a well-respected elder known for his great wisdom and powerful magic, to help him pursue his desire. As he experiences the freedom of his new life, reality falls dangerously short of his fanciful expectations.The author hopes that the emperor's story will encourage readers to consider the possible consequences before making important decisions. Hasty actions too often lead to unwarranted outcomes.
