An unexpected hazard of going from a world of modern technology to a primitive, alternate Asia: explaining the concept of "swimsuit" to people who can't swim. Nic must train a truly effective special forces team, and protect the only safe haven she's found. The people of Shanmen fortress have accepted her— even if some still think she is a wolf demon in her spare time—but Feng Guo, the general in command, has a powerful enemy determined to wipe them out.

Nic must save the fortress and the people within from sabotage, single spies, and entire squads of soldiers in a world wracked by rebellion. She only has her wits and what she had on her when she was shunted to this timeline. What can she do with a cell phone, a tourist guide, and a very slightly used geology degree? Wreak havok, and let slip the Red Wolf of war!
