JOURNEY TO THE VERY EDGE OF HONOUR, LOYALTY...AND LOVE During 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
