Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Before an emperor can rise, a prophecy must survive a thousand years.In the year 386, a Buddhist monk on Mount Lu dreams of a mysterious woman who speaks of a China that will fracture again and again. She warns of five guardians, a ruler touched by Heaven, and a destiny that will outlive dynasties.Centuries pass. Scriptures are copied, altered, forgotten, and reborn. Mongol armies conquer China. The Southern Song falls. And the woman from the ancient dream-an immortal witch accompanied by five dragons-steps out of legend and into the halls of imperial power.Believing order is worth any price, she binds herself ever more tightly to the Yuan dynasty, shaping emperors, succession struggles, and the fate of millions. Yet beyond the palace walls, five extraordinary girls are growing into women whose lives are mysteriously linked to Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Dragon. They will become warriors, teachers, and the hidden truth behind an ancient prophecy remembered only as the Five Lords.Then the prophecy turns personal.The witch falls in love with Emperor Toghon Temür. A child is born in secret. And when signs begin to suggest that her own son may be the long-awaited Luminous King, the woman who spent centuries preparing for prophecy must decide whether to fulfill it-or destroy it.Blending the Mongol conquest, the Yuan court, White Lotus traditions, dragons, martial arts, political intrigue, and epic fantasy, Volume I of The Boy Who Would Be Emperor & The Legendary 5 begins a sweeping saga about power, faith, history, and the dangerous difference between protecting the future and trying to control it
