THE CHINESE "LORD OF THE RINGS" - NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE SERIES EVERY CHINESE READER HAS BEEN ENJOYING FOR DECADES - 300 MILLION COPIES SOLD.
"Western fantasy has JRR Tolkien, but we Asian fantasy authors have Jin Yong's stories in our DNA. The debt we owe him is immeasurable" SHELLEY PARKER-CHAN
"If you haven't read Jin Yong's work, you haven't yet fully experienced the fantasy genre" FONDA LEE
CHINA , 1237 A.D.
Genghis Khan is dead, but the Mongolians, led by his son, continue their assault on the Central Plains.
A new generation of martial artists has emerged to face this threat, foremost among them Guo Jing and his wife Lotus Huang. And a new danger stalks the land, with all the fury of a woman scorned - Blithe Li, the Red Serpent Celestial.
It is an encounter with this pitiless foe that reunites Guo Jing with Penance, the son of his treacherous sworn brother, Yang Kang. He resolves to lift the boy from a life of vagrancy and initiate him into the martial world.
Placed under the care of the Quanzhen Sect at their temple in the Zhongnan Mountains, Penance stumbles across the mysterious history behind this most respected martial school. What he uncovers sends him on a journey that will force him to come to terms with his father's past and the secrets of his own heart.

I enjoyed this book

At this rate, it will take several more years for the translation of the whole Condor Trilogy to be completed, but the fact that we’re already partway through the second book now is more than I’d ever hoped to see in my lifetime.
Simply put, if you’ve ever enjoyed wuxia movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you owe it to yourself to see the genre’s origins in the work of its seminal master. Jin Yong has often been called China’s Tolkien, and the comparison is indeed a fair one—not because the two men produced similar work (in many ways, they did not), but because each occupies a comparable role in the history of his own culture’s fantasy literature.
It’s worth pointing out that this volume is very much a continuation of the four which preceded it—it’s definitely best to start with ‘A Hero Born,’ and move forward from there. Wuxia novels, unlike the movies they’ve inspired, are immense, sprawling affairs, often serialised in newspapers when first written and taking place over generations and involving very large casts of characters. The commitment is definitely considerable, but I can assure you—if you like this sort of thing, Jin Yong will reward you richly for your time.
I already can’t wait for the next volume!
