About this ebook
From 184 to 280 AD, the ancient Eastern Han Dynasty was ravaged by famine while its reigning emperor was being drowned in festivities egged on by his Gang of Ten Eunuchs. In the north starving peasants wrapped yellow rags around their foreheads calling themselves the Yellow Turban Rebels. Their followers soon numbered tens of thousands, and they began ransacking villages and towns in one of the most violent uprisings in Chinese history, which would lead to the collapse and eventual disintegration of the Middle Kingdom into disparate vassal states ruled by warlords - a number of them would rise to fight for the ultimate glory of being crowned the next Son of Heaven.
The tales of the Three Kingdoms are legendary throughout the centuries and many of their personalities are household names in China. For the first time, those ancient stories are created anew and brought to life in English. Regaled with gusto are palace intrigues, political machinations, and heightened individual duels. It is time to light a fire and immerse yourself in the world of fantastic dragon swords, battle axes, and elaborate battle formations.
