The Dragonfly Saga, Book 1: Empress of Canton - Softcover

China 1923. In an ancient land battling for its very existence, violence and chaos reign supreme. In the devastating aftermath of a revolution that toppled the divine imperial system and left the once-glorious empire torn and bleeding, ruthless warlords have claimed dominion. Political intrigue and betrayal are the only rulers now. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Kathryn Hopewell is captured during an invasion of Canton by the warlord Cheng Jiong. Recognizing the folly of allowing the only daughter of a powerful American trade lord to be cold-bloodedly murdered, Ty Wang must make an impossible choice: save Kathryn, which will cost him his life; or let her die, which could mean the death of his beloved homeland. Empress of Canton, the first book in the sweeping Dragonfly Saga, is the electrifying tale of Ty and Kathryn's desperate struggle to stop a war that would blow China to pieces. Bound together by a love as strong as it is forbidden, their efforts could ultimately change the fate of a nation-and destroy them both.
