In the ancient Kingdom of Shu of China, famed for its legendary brocade, a glut of unsold silk threatens the realm's prosperity. When the Chancellor's bold second son, Zejing, volunteers to lead a perilous caravan south into unknown lands, he embarks on an epic journey that will forge the first threads of the Silk Road.From misty bamboo seas and hanging-coffin cliffs to elephant kingdoms, rattan-armor tribes, the mysterious Kingdom of Women, peacock-shadowed palaces, and the sacred Ganges plains of Tianzhu, Zejing faces river dragons, venomous gu curses, royal conspiracies, and fierce tribal wars. Armed only with unmatched Shu brocade, ancient maps, mysterious talismans, and unyielding courage, he forges alliances, topples tyrants, saves princes and princesses, and opens a road that will connect East and West for centuries to come.A sweeping historical adventure blending romance, intrigue, and cultural wonder, The Long Ballad of the Silk Road is a thrilling tale of exploration, friendship, and the enduring power of silk to bridge civilizations.Perfect for fans of The Silk Roads, Jade Dynasty, and classic Chinese epics. An unforgettable journey across ancient Asia.
