Description

China, 1200 A.D. The Song Dynasty has been invaded by its warlike Jurchen neighbors from the north. Half its territory and its capital lie in enemy hands as peasants endure the annual tribute. On the Mongolian steppe, a nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity: Genghis Khan. Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grows up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble and loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated to confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning, and flawlessly trained in the martial arts. Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China — to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing — to fulfill his destiny. But in a land divided by war and betrayal, his courage and loyalties will be tested at every turn.
