Author Description

When her small village is flooded... a result of the Three Gorges Dam, Lin Wu flees to a new life in America. To work off her debt for the passage, she works at a small ranch in California. Still, she cannot escape a distant ancestor who has followed her. This same descendant visits her every night in her dreams. This is the true story of Madame Hsi Kai Ching. In the year 1801, she became the most successful pirate on the South China seas. With 1200 ships, and 70,000 men, she terrorized both the Chinese and English ships that were within her reach. This is a true story. But what is not known about her is this: death was not enough to stop the strong spirit of this pirate queen! With Lin Wu in a new land (and now in danger,) their lives will intertwine in a climatic collision with destiny.
