An epic historical adventure set in an alternate 8th century China, from the author of the 2008 World Fantasy winner, Ysabel. Under Heaven is a novel of heroes, assassins, concubines & emperors set against a majestic & unforgiving landscape. Honour is beyond measure But its price may be an empire? For two years Shen Tai has mourned his celebrated father & lived like a hermit beyond the borders of the Kitan Empire. There, by a mountain lake, the bones of the soldiers killed in great battles between the Kitai & the Tagurans lie unburied & their wailing ghosts strike terror into the living.

It contains the promise of a poisoned chalice: Tai will be given two hundred & fifty Sardian horses by the Tagurans, legendary steeds from the far west, as a reward for his courage & piety. Now, Tai must try to return alive from solitude to a glittering, dangerous court. For to give a man even one of the famed Sardians is to honour him greatly; to give him so many is a reward which would overwhelm an emperor, & could be Tai's death warrant. ...
