Rise of Chin! The Legend of Eastern Chou
In ancient China, before emperors ruled the land, a fragile peace hangs in the balance...
Set in 8th century BCE China, this epic historical novel follows Chin Qi (Ying Qi), a young nobleman from a minor tribe, as he navigates the treacherous court of King Xuan of Chou.
When drought ravages the heartland and hungry citizens grow restless, the ambitious king sets his sights on the fertile western territories of the Jiang Rong tribes. Against this backdrop of looming war and political intrigue, Chin Qi finds himself caught between loyalty to the Chou Dynasty and his own ancestry—descendants of a legendary Shang general who nearly prevented the rise of Chou.
As alliances shift and nobles scheme, Chin Qi's observations reveal a civilization at its turning point. The ancient rituals that once maintained order are beginning to crumble, setting the stage for events that will eventually give birth to the nation we now call China.
The Legend of Eastern Chou weaves together court politics, ancient philosophy, and the clash of cultures in a meticulously researched tale of ambition, honor, and the price of power. What begins as a young man's education will become a journey that reshapes the destiny of East Asia for millennia to come.
