Within the magical realm of a Victorian British
Empire that never was, one man embarks on a
fantastic mission that dates back to the first
true king of Europe and that may determine the
fate of the last true emperor of China–and the
world.
When Nigel Oldhall hires on to pilot a magic
carpetship under the name of Enoch Jones, it
seems the perfect way for him to travel without
attracting attention. For the English nobleman
has in his possession the two most powerful
jewels in the universe. His mission is to return
them to their shrine in deepest Africa,
restoring order to the world–and to his life.
But he doesn’t count on being attacked by
Chinese pirates–or being held captive by a
shape-shifting beauty…
Daughter of the Dragon King, sister of the new
True Emperor of All Under Heaven, Red Jade is
also on a mission: to reclaim the royal status
stolen from her family by invaders. Since their
expulsion, they have ruled only a mystical
shadow-realm. Now, with the jewels in her sight,
Red Jade has the chance to rule all. But she
soon finds herself, and Enoch, trapped in a
scheme that may cause her to change
loyalties–and discover her heart’s true destiny.
