Publisher: Within the magical realm of a Victorian British Empire that never was, Nigel Oldhall has a mission: to return the two most powerful jewels in the universe to their shrine in deepest Africa, restoring order to the world--and to his life. But he doesn't count on being attacked by Chinese pirates--or being held captive by a shape-shifting beauty... Daughter of the Dragon King, sister of the new Ture Emperor of All Under Heaven, Red Jade is also on a mission: to reclaim the royal status stolen from her family by invaders. With the jewels in her sight, her mission seems assured--until she and Nigel find themselves trapped in a scheme that may change both their loyalties...and their hearts.
