"A page turner that is at once epic and intimate. This is a must read!" ---Lisa Yee, New York Times bestselling author of The Misfits

In ancient Chang'An, Han Yu sells steamed buns in a bustling market full of whispers about his ability to summon tigers.

In New York's Depression-era Chinatown, Luli gazes out from the roof of her parents' restaurant, dreaming of dim sum and Chinese art.

Familiar rhythms rule the contained-but-contented lives of Han Yu and Luli. But when plague strikes Chang'An and financial crisis threatens Luli's family, Han Yu and Luli must each venture out into the larger world---and into danger-filled adventure---to save what they love most. Filled with wondrous caves and conniving thieves, desert storms and magical lakes, Karina Yan Glaser's epic and rewarding novel is a testament to the bravery required to face the unknown and the power of art to connect us through the ages.

"The work of a virtuoso, this is quite simply dazzling ." ---James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author of City Spies
