    Translated in full for the first time, this first volume immerses readers in the power and drama of the electrifying classic Chinese novel. Deep inside the Zhou royal palace, an ancient curse is released, and darkness spreads across the land. An incompetent king's mad passion for a teenaged slave leads to the country being torn apart by civil war. As the situation unravels, will anyone attempt to stand against the forces of chaos? One of the great works of Chinese literature, Kingdoms in Peril is an epic historical novel charting the five hundred years leading to the unification of the country in 221 B.C.E. under the rule of the legendary First Emperor. Writing some fourteen hundred years later, the Ming-era author Feng Menglong drew on a vast trove of literary and historical documents to compose a gripping narrative account of how China was forged. Detailing the stories of unforgettable characters who defined and shaped the times in which they lived, the complete edition of Kingdoms in Peril is a vital resource for those seeking a comprehensive overview of China's ancient past and the political machinations that led to its unification. There are many historical works that provide an account of some of these events, but none are as thrilling and breathtakingly memorable as Kingdoms in Peril. Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Map: The Zhou Confederacy circa 500 b.c.e -- List of Main Characters -- Introduction -- Chapter One: King Xuan of Zhou hears a children's song and kills a woman for no good reason. Grandee Du becomes formidable as he protests his innocence. -- Chapter Two: The people of Bao atone for their crimes by handing over a beautiful woman.

Lord Zhuang of Zheng fakes an edict and attacks Song. -- Chapter Seven: Noble Grandson E, fighting from his chariot, shoots Ying Kaoshu. The Honorable Hui comes up with a plot to usurp the title from Lord Yin. -- Chapter Eight: To establish a new lord, Hua Du resorts to giving bribes. Having defeated the Rong army, Zihu refuses a marriage alliance. -- Chapter Nine: The Marquis of Qi gives Lady Wen Jiang in marriage to Lu. Zhu Dan shoots King Huan of Zhou in the shoulder. -- Chapter Ten: Xiong Tong of Chu oversteps his authority and declares himself king.

    Translated in full for the first time, this second volume immerses readers in the power and drama of the electrifying classic Chinese novel. Lord Wen of Jin brings some temporary stability to the political scene when he returns after many years in exile. However, the grants of land and office to his longstanding supporters make them too powerful for his successors to control. Just as the Zhou aristocrats seize power from their king, a bitter struggle begins as ministers seek to impose their authority on their lords. One of the great works of Chinese literature, Kingdoms in Peril is an epic historical novel charting the five hundred years leading to the unification of the country in 221 B.C.E. under the rule of the legendary First Emperor. Writing some fourteen hundred years later, the Ming-era author Feng Menglong drew on a vast trove of literary and historical documents to compose a gripping narrative account of how China was forged. Detailing the stories of unforgettable characters who defined and shaped the times in which they lived, the complete edition of Kingdoms in Peril is a vital resource for those seeking a comprehensive overview of China's ancient past and the political machinations that led to its unification. There are many historical works that provide an account of some of these events, but none are as thrilling and breathtakingly memorable as Kingdoms in Peril.
