About this ebook
In the gritty underworld of 1920s Chinatown, a crippled beggar harbors a hidden identity as a Manchu aristocrat and a forbidden love that spans years and continents. When a striking new bride arrives, she becomes the key to unlocking his tragic past and rekindling a romance that defies cultural divides. Can star-crossed lovers find redemption in America?
