by And Helen C. T. H. and Helen C. Henning (Author)
Here is the enthralling tale of Lu Wong Di, a Chinese who spies for Chinese emperors. He murders a Chinese gate guard and is cursed by a witch to never die until he learns the value of a single human life. The curse sends him on an adventurous journey covering six centuries of Chinese history. In the pursuit of his own salvation he falls in love, marries, and has children only to watch them age and die while he remains a young man. He questions mans search for immortality and searches for a cure to the witches curse. A Buddhist monk leads him to a vampire who debates him on the question of the value of human beings and tells him to seek out the tomb of the first Emperor of China for the answers he seeks. He and his partner Xiancia encounter bandits, pirates, typhoons, floods, disease, a dragon, a demon, and ghosts in their quest for the answer to find the value of a single human life. They uncover ancient secrets of the Book of Three Curses and the Three Mirrors of Fate and question their own values as they travel across the vast deserts and mountains of Asia.
