Book excerpt: When does ambition to attain a noble goal demand too high a price - risking everything -- family, clan and even life? Such is the tale of Hasan Arslan: a captivating and turbulent saga set in 11th-century China's Song Dynasty. Hasan, a Gelolu Uyghur and master bow maker, strives to ascend the upper echelons of the Song Imperial Society. Despite the perils of assassination, political pitfalls, racial conflict, infidelity, deceit, and betrayal, he pursues his lofty goal. Will the jade Pixiu, a mythical being with the head of a dragon and the body of a lion, bestowed upon his grandfather by Emperor Taizong, protect Hasan and bring prosperity to his family? When all the Arslan men engage in warfare to fend off Tangut and Jurchen invaders, can two generations of women—Layla, Melod, and Pendo—forge a path to success through their House of Arslan Armory? Escaping Jurchen marauders to a foreign land, Manola and Meimei, the granddaughters, upheave norms of race and culture in their pursuit of stability and wealth. Will their efforts lead to further disaster or uncover fabulous riches? If you cherished the emotionally charged story of "The Secret Life Of Sunflowers" by Marta Monlar, the sweeping generational saga of "Pachinko" by Min Jin Lee, the poignant resonance of "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan, and the enthralling narratives of "Lady Tan’s Circle of Women" by Lisa See then prepare to be captivated and entranced by this spellbinding saga.
