Under Heaven is a novel of heroes, assassins, concubines and emperors set against a majestic and unforgiving landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonour is beyond measure\u003cbr\u003eBut its price may be an empire…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor two years Shen Tai has mourned his celebrated father and 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 and the Tagurans lie unburied and their wailing ghosts strike terror into the living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTai has laboured alone, laying to rest the mingled dead of both empires, until a letter arrives. It contains the promise of a poisoned chalice: Tai will be given two hundred and fifty Sardian horses by the Tagurans, legendary steeds from the far west, as a reward for his courage and piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, 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, and could be Tai's death warrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536421626230,"sku":"9780007342105","price":11.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27476296.jpg?v=1774288935","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780007342105-under-heaven","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
