JOURNEY TO THE VERY EDGE OF HONOUR, LOYALTY...AND LOVEDuring China's infamous Tang Dynasty - a time awash with luxury, yet littered with deadly intrigues and fallen royalty - betrayed Princess Ai Li flees before her wedding. Miles from home, with only her delicate butterfly swords for a defence, she enlists the reluctant protection of a blue-eyed warrior...Embittered barbarian Ryam has always held his own life at cheap value. Ai Li's innocent trust in him and honourable, stubborn nature make him desperate to protect her - which means not seducing the first woman he has ever truly wanted...'If Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon merged with A Knight's Tale, you'd have the power and romance of Lin's dynamic debut.' - RT BOOK Reviews
