Synopsis
From Hong Kong to Beijing to the Great Wall, from the exotic wonders of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, to squalid village huts, a century-long conflict rages.
A kaleidoscope of people are caught up in the struggle: a young village wife striving against the rigid traditions of her people; Manchu empresses and warriors; powerful eunuchs; fanatical Taiping and Boxer Rebels; savvy Chinese pirates; artists; concubines; scoundrels and heroes; well-intentioned missionaries and the rapacious merchants, diplomats and soldiers of the West. Fortunes will rise and fall as an Empire is torn apart.
