Publisher's Synopsis
Imperialist controlled Hong Kong, the British ruling classes and the dynasty-influenced Chinese all create an amazing labyrinth for His Dream of the Skyland, book one in The Walled City trilogy. The Chinese colonial-inspired illustrations create an utterly distinct experience, immersing readers in a world that is opulent, dark and absorbing. Readers will be entranced by the story of Song Lu, a young boy living in Hong Kong in the 1920s, who gets caught up in the dark underbelly of the city. With two more books in the series to come, this marks the beginning of a truly epic tale.
