In the sweltering summer of 1900, fourteen-year-old Eddie Donahue calls the walled International Legation Quarter in Peking, China, his home. While his father runs a bustling silk trade, Eddie watches in awe as soldiers from America, Europe, and beyond march the streets, guarding against growing unrest outside the gates.
Dreaming of adventure beyond his errands, Eddie encounters rough-and-ready U.S. Marines and glimpses the enigmatic threat of the 'Boxers' - warriors bent on driving out all foreigners from China. As tensions boil over into conflict, Eddie must summon his wits and bravery to face dangers that test his family, his friendships, and his resolve. This gripping historical novel captures the Boxer Rebellion through a young boy's eyes, blending real events with tales of courage and discovery.
