À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The fabled Green Legend sword, the invincible blade of China, is under threat. For many years it has been hidden by the House of Te. But with the death of Duke Te, master of the Iron Way and beacon of the fight against injustice, the sword is no longer safe. And the future of the Martial world is in peril.

Shulien, legendary female warrior, has been in solitude for as long as the sword has been safe. But now she must break her long meditation, her mourning for her lost love, Mubai, and travel to Beijing. Dark forces, headed by the mighty Hades Dai, are mustering ...

Also from the past steps fellow wushu warrior Jiaolong. No longer a fighter, she has instead a legacy to bequeath to the Iron Way - her fierce, beautiful daughter, Snow Vase.

Like a magnet, the Green Legend pulls a cast of extraordinary characters into a compelling kaleidoscope ofbravery and battle - and to an epic and nail-biting conclusion.

Sword of Destiny, inspired by Wang Du Lu's Iron Crane series, is a masterful and compelling tale of lost love and the search for redemption.
