All that prevents the violent end of a dynasty is the Great Wall. Yet even this famed fortification has weaknesses, and against his will, a talented Chinese craftsman is taken from his home and wife, so that he may labor alongside the wall's defenders. Fan has been missing for a year when his wife, Meng, decides to do the impossible--to leave everyone and everything she knows in a daunting effort to find him. At a time when many women fear even stepping outside their homes, Meng disguises herself as a man and begins a perilous journey of deliverance. As two armies gather at the Great Wall, the fates of Fan and Meng collide with a Mongol horseman seeking redemption, a Chinese concubine fighting injustice, and a ruthless general determined to destroy them all." -- $c Page 4 of cover 651 0 $a China $x History $y Ming dynasty, 1368-1644 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Wall of China (China) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature & Fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Historical. $2 local 941 $a 3 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063329.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20180308140156.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20171101011112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3FF3A90BECA11E7A819294097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
