Book Synopsis: The passionate tale of a man who sailed the oceans of the world to claim the woman who dared to love him. Across the boundless seas sails the china clipper.
In captain, Jonathan Rakehell, has promises to keep. To his family who have risked their reputation and fortune on his vision. To a beautiful Chinese woman who has dared to love him. To his own conscience which abhors the opium trade.
He ducks in the harbor of a Middle Kingdom far different from the country that had once welcomed his clipper ship. Torn by strife and lawlessness, it will entangle him in its internal agonies and set him on a course of infinite peril.
