Jiangxi's final memories of Beijing from 1751 are cast in fire and blood. A coup enslaves the emperor's youngest son and sends him to a much different America than we've read about in the history books. When Jiangxi arrives in the city of Wacharon, he is sold upon his arrival to Onas, a powerful tribal leader. As Jiangxi grows up, the choices he makes will change not only the course of his own life, but also the future of the two most powerful nations in the world.
