Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âRiver of Stars is a major accomplishment, the work of a master novelist in full command of his subject.ââMichael Dirda, in The Washington Post
âGame of Thrones in China.ââSalon.com
Ren Daiyan was still just a boy when he took the lives of seven men while guarding an imperial magistrate. That moment on a lonely road changed his life in entirely unexpected ways, sending him into the forests of Kitai among the outlaws. From there he emerges years laterâand his life changes again, dramatically, as he circles toward the court and emperor, while war approaches Kitai from the north.
Â
Lin Shan is the daughter of a scholar, his beloved only child. Educated by him in ways young women never are, gifted as a songwriter and calligrapher, she finds herself living a life suspended between two worlds. Her intelligence captivates an emperorâand alienates women at the court. But when her fatherâs life is endangered by the savage politics of the day, Shan must act in ways no woman ever has.
Â
In an empire divided by bitter factions circling an exquisitely cultured emperor who loves his gardens and his art far more than the burdens of governing, dramatic events on the northern steppe alter the balance of power in the world, leading to events no one could have foretold, under the river of stars.
