FREE Today & Tomorrow Jan 22nd & 23rd at Amazon Swan Cloud by Edward C. Patterson Book III in the Southern Swallow series 490 pages What one reader says: the author skillfully weaves an intriguing plot that holds the reader to the page, needing to find out what happens next. There came a point deep in the novel where I literally couldnt put it down until I finished the last page. - A. Chin ----------------------------------------------- “We were like Swan Clouds, or so my master Li K’ai-men said, because for ten years we drifted from place to place — city to city — one temporary capital after another.” Ten years has passed since The Nan Tu, Book II of the Southern Swallow series. The Sung court and government has settled at the great city of Lin-an and peace is sought with the invading Jurchen. The stage is set for one of the most infamous incidents in Chinese history, known as The Yueh Fei Affair — an intrigue, which casts our adventurers into the perils of the times. Book III of the Southern Swallow series – Swan Cloud, like its predecessors (The Academician and The Nan Tu) is told by K’u Ko-ling, servant to the Grand Tutor, Li K’ai-men, who must forgo his obligated mourning period and set out on a diplomatic mission for the Emperor Kao — a mission fraught with political intrigue and treachery. Set on the broad canvas of Sung Dynasty China (12th Century), Swan Cloud is a tale of separation and sacrifice — injustice and intrigue. It represents a turning point in this saga for our hero and his band of spiritual warriors. ------------------------------------- The Southern Swallow Series: The Academician The Nan Tu Swan Cloud The House of Green Waters Vagrants Hollow Swan Cloud amazon/dp/B0062CGHU2
