Reviews"Set in a time of seismic dynastic change in the story of Islam . . . an exotic world of old is brought back to fevered life with plot twists aplenty in a drama as lethal as a jeweled assassin's knife." -Benson Bobrick, author, The Caliph's Splendor: Islam and the West in the Golden Age of Baghdad, "Not only a best-selling tale of action and adventure but also a surprisingly poetic book, and in that unexpected coupling of poetry and hard-bitten thriller lies all its charm . . . Chen's books are of course easy to read, but they are also irreproachably historically accurate and literally bursting at the seams with offbeat and often eye-opening information." - Diplomat

SynopsisThe first book in Russia's acclaimed Silk Road Trilogy, available in English for the first time, is full of mystery, memorable characters, and nonstop adventure. In the heart of the world, where empires collide, Nanidat Maniakh, a dashing trader, is enjoying the good life as head of a powerful silk dynasty. Yet Fate has other plans: Nanidat's world is suddenly torn asunder by murder and revolution, and the fate of his homeland hangs in the balance. Overnight, this able merchant must become a cunning warrior and spy, while eluding assassins, negotiating with kings, and pursuing a long-lost love. This thrilling and rich historical thriller, set in 749 CE-in the part of the world we now know as Iran, Iraq, and Central Asia-vividly re-creates a lost world, yet its passions and conflicts are entirely relevant to the present day., The first book in Russia's acclaimed Silk Road Trilogy, available in English for the first time, is full of mystery, memorable characters, and nonstop adventure.
