MAGIC FIRE UNLEASHED
When part of a town is set aflame by burning birds, Master Book Hunter Zhi Wenku suspects someone has released the creatures from a stolen artifact known as the Pot of a Thousand Crows. Along with her friend, Shen Wei, and their two apprentices, Qing, the koi dragon, and Xinglu, the dog demon, they set about to investigate.
All too soon the trail of facts leads to the mysterious death of an ancient cultivator known as Pan Wei and the magical wonders taken by his chief disciple and supposedly duplicated. Thus Zhi Wenku and Shen Wei have to deduce if they are indeed dealing with the authentic relics or cleverly constructed fakes. Soon they, and their allies, find themselves targets of the mysterious villains manipulating the destructive attacks.
Barbara Doran once again weaves a truly imaginative fantasy based on Chinese lore and mythology filled with colorful and truly unique characters. A fun romp from start to finish.
