The Rise of Huang Zhou: Book One of the Forbidden Chronicles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737504139)

A secret society is bent on establishing world peace, brotherhood, and equality-no matter how many people they have to kill. Are they right? Are they wrong? Judge for yourself.

Behold the rise of Huang Zhou-the greatest mind in all of Asia. Thrown into the Opium War as a child, he survives and embraces the learning of the West-to use against them! Rather than vowing revenge, he strives to bring about an ancient prophecy-and the conquest of the world.

To bring peace and solidarity to his own people, Huang Zhou incites a revolt against British rule at the same time in India. When a young and clever prince of India joins the insurrection, the British Empire is rocked to the core! What happens when they strike back?

At the same time, Huang Zhou finds a young beauty eager for the admiration of the emperor-and his power. Using every means at his disposal, Huang Zhou maneuvers her ever higher, from concubine to the most powerful woman in the empire. And maybe the world.

Huang Zhou pulls a thousand strings across the world stage. Is he the villain they claim he is... or the world's only salvation?
