In a book of this type you meet brave heroes, clever women, honest officials and scheming courtiers.

Punkt 1 von 4
The Tang world sets the stage
The Tang dynasty ruled China from the seventh to the early tenth century. Later writers remembered it as a golden age, with a great capital at Chang'an, busy trade routes and a court full of poets and officials.
Because the age was so rich, later storytellers placed many tales of heroes there. Readers of the adventure novel expect palaces, border towns, inns on the road and mountain hideouts.
This setting gives the story its mood. Power sits close to danger, and a single word at court can lift a family or ruin it.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
