TWISTED EDGES

by Jennifer King

14th Century China as never before... The epic saga of the rule of the tyrant Zyrus and his sons following... from an old Chinese story. The emperor Zyrius was a great warrior and fighter, and his people feared him. His laws were not to be broken and any who disobeyed were punished by prison or worse... or simply executed. He had two sons... As the eldest son grew to a young man, Chuing was praised for his strength, courage, fighting skills, bravery, and dominant nature. All over the kingdom, it was said that he was truly his father's son. And this made Emperor Zyrius proud. Gen-lee, the second son, was nothing like his brother. While Chuing accompanied his father hunting or on village raids, he remained at the palace where he could be found in the library, or with his father's advisors discussing issues concerning the kingdom. They often frowned in wonderment at the intelligent questions that Gen-lee put to them and logical answers he came up with. A recipe for intrigue and disaster... only one son could follow his father as Emperor!

[Ael Data · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book casts a spell on the reader from the word go. Set in 14th century China, the characters are designed to provide an exotic blend of events. The beauty of this story lies in the simplicity of the concept - a feud between brothers. Where the author Jennifer King adds her touch is, giving her characters a free mind to let the events and storyline evolve rather than forcing any turn of events.

A beautifully written book that you wouldn't want to put down until you've reached the back cover.
