A novel set between the past and the present, between the fifteenth century China, in the time of the expeditions of Sinbad the Sailor, and the twentieth century, when the powerhouse China has become has great influence over the world as a whole. Along the way, we travel across Spain and Italy of the fifteenth century, during the age of the great explorers, who unknowingly were about to discover the New World thanks to a secret society of Chinese women with a mission that would take centuries to unfold.
