In the seventeenth century guardians protected China's most precious secrets - teachings that could change the course of its history. When the Manchu tribe invade and march to the Great Wall of China, the legends of these secrets send Jun, a young man from the southern Hunan province, to find and protect them.

Autorenporträt
AUTHOR: Mike Robinson has been a writer since age six and a professional one since nineteen. His initial editing experience came in the swarms of prose he pumped out into the world, only occasionally into the world of actual magazines, anthologies or e-zines. Soon, as he began selling more regularly, and as publishers took note of his longer works, he began freelance editing. In the past eight years, he's edited screenplays, memoirs, novels, children's books and, would you believe it, epic narrative poetry. One of the novels he edited, "Under the Tamarind Tree," was shortlisted among nine others for the 2014 Dundee International Book Prize. A charter member of The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS), he's also the managing editor of the organization's official publication, Literary Landscapes, which features stories, excerpts, articles and poetry (see issues here). In addition, he belongs to the editing collective Write For Success, for which he performs manuscript critiques and consultation. As an author, he's published nine novels and almost fifteen short stories.
