Storyline
When small town girl Victoria loses her adoptive parents in a fiery car crash, she discovers that everything she knows is a lie. With the help of an art dealer who claims to be a Chinese Jew, Victoria takes a perilous journey to China in search of the truth. Pursued by mysterious men dressed in black known as Watchers, she
• jumps off a plane mid-flight without a parachute,
• sinks to the bottom of the sea while strapped inside a car,
• dangles from the window at the top of the tallest building in China,
• wrestles a hungry tiger, and
• bats for the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
Victoria learns that her parents have been sentenced to eternal separation for the crime of falling in love. It turns out that her mother was the favorite general of ancient China's first known warrior queen and her father was the founder of a northern tribe that would later conquer China. The three of them are separated from each other by thousands of years. Victoria also discovers the existence of a mysterious clan which has been protecting a secret for over three thousand years. It is an ancient oracle about a cataclysmic catastrophe known as the “Stopping of the Sun.” And if that is not too much for an adolescent girl to handle, Victoria is challenged by a god-like Artificial Intelligence by the name of AlphaOmega, who threatens to enslave her together with the rest of the world. Will Victoria be able to save her parents from eternal exile, can she escape from AlphaOmega's Machiavellian web of deceit, and will she sacrifice all she loves to save humanity from extermination?
If you enjoy genre-bending sci-fi adventures with surprising plot twists, epic battles, a historical mystery that rivals The Da Vinci Code, romance, humor, and a clear vision of the future for the human race, then let Victoria take you along on her roller coaster ride. You'll share Victoria’s exhilarating experience while you explore the hidden history of China, and as a bonus, learn the true origin of of Confucius, Mulan, and Shang-Chi. Yes, they're related.
