A modern edition of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, featuring essential summaries & Hanyu Pinyin names and pronunciation

In a humble peach orchard, three men swear an oath that will shake empires: the righteous Liú Bèi, the godlike warrior Gu¿n Y¿, and the tempestuous Zh¿ng F¿i. Their brotherhood defies the rising darkness - the monstrous tyrant D¿ng Zhu¿ who puppeteers the throne, bathing streets in blood, guarded by the undefeatable demigod of war L¿ Bù astride the mythic Red Hare.

Amidst the storm walks Cáo C¿o, a strategist of unmatched brilliance and ruthless ambition, dancing on the edge of damnation. And in the shadows, the young courtesan Di¿o Chán (Sable Cicada) weaves a plot of beauty and wit to achieve what armies cannot: toppling a colossus of cruelty.
