The book is written against a background when China was divided by 7 kingdoms, each having a king, in the years starting from 246B.C. It was a time when many scholars sprang up with innovative ideologies and theories that had changed the façade of the Chinese culture. The “Yin and Yang” theory and the “Five Elements of Nature” principle were developed in those times, and have become embedded in the Chinese culture and part of the civilization of the Chinese people.
In the end, the Kingdom of Qin had conquered all the 6 other kingdoms, and King Zheng of Qin unified China and declared himself the First Emperor. The First Emperor was ambitious and had a list full of deeds on his agenda. He commenced the construction of the Great Wall. He also defeated the nomadic tribesmen from the north, who posed a threat to the country’s peace and prosperity.
The four warriors were created fictitiously. They possess four different skills that represent the distinct characteristics of the Chinese culture.
This novel is for everyone and for all ages. Those who wish to know more about the Chinese civilization will find the book useful. And those who simply wish to enjoy reading a novel.
