Asian fantasy authors have Jin Yong's stories in our DNA. The debt
we owe him is immeasurable" SHELLEY-PARKER CHAN "If you haven't
read Jin Yong's work, you haven't yet fully experienced the fantasy
genre" FONDA LEE CHINA , 1237 A.D. Genghis Khan is dead. The
Mongolians, led by the conqueror's third son, Ogedai, have
vanquished the Jurchen Jin Empire, and now turn their armies on
their ally the Great Song Empire. A dozen years have passed since
the second Contest of Mount Hua. A new generation of martial
artists are vying for recognition in the jianghu, but as the fall
of their country looms closer, the making of a hero depends on more
than mere kung fu skills. A chance meeting with his father's sworn
brother Guo Jing lifts Penance Yang from a life of vagrancy and
initiates him into the martial world to which his parents Yang Kang
and Mercy Mu once belonged. Placed under the care of the Quanzhen
Sect at their base in the Zhongnan Mountains, Penance stumbles
across the mysterious history behind the founding of this most
respected martial school and embarks on a journey that forces him
to come to terms with his family's past as well as the secrets of
his own heart. Translated from the Chinese by Gigi Chang
