| Summary: | When the prophecy anoints the wrong hero, Jian decides to save the kingdom from a cruel immortal god-king anyway with the help of a ragtag group of allies, including a grandmaster of magical martial arts, a straight-laced warrior, and a chaotic assassin. It has been foretold: A child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom. Jian has been raised since birth in luxury and splendor, celebrated before he has won a single battle. When Taishi, the greatest war artist of her generation, arrives to evaluate the prophesied hero, she finds a spoiled brat unprepared to face his destiny. Possessed of an iron will, a sharp tongue Taishi-- and a band of unlikely allies-- will find a way to forge Jian into the weapon and leader he needs to be in order to fulfill his legend. -- adapted from jacket. |
