Book Five of the Keepers of the Light
The Crane of KaifengA.D. 1074
Kaifeng is the greatest city on Earth-a place of scholars, engineers, physicians, merchants, and wonders beyond imagining.
Li Wei, the Imperial Court's most trusted astronomer, has spent his life believing that the universe follows laws waiting to be understood. When he is chosen to accompany an imperial voyage to observe a brilliant comet, every calculation promises success.
Then the heavens begin to change.
As familiar constellations drift from their appointed places and every explanation fails, Li Wei finds himself confronting a mystery that no chart, instrument, or philosophy can explain.
In a world built upon knowledge, he must discover that the greatest wonders begin where certainty ends.
From the bustling streets of Song Dynasty Kaifeng to the edge of the known world, The Crane of Kaifeng is a sweeping story of curiosity, family, and the courage to follow truth beyond the limits of understanding.
