Summary:
Set during the early China trade when epic adventurers carved dynasties out of barren rock and the opium trade pitted father against son, and friends against one another. For trader Dirk Struan, the silver and opium exchange is almost impossible to resist, but everything comes to a head when he is forced to choose between the ones he loves and profit beyond his imagination.
