It is the 15th Century.
At the dawn of the Ming Dynasty, three women's paths will cross.
And of their journey, a tale will be born.
An imperial concubine, a Persian traveler and a mysterious storyteller.
Three women: One story.
This is BEIJING. A city seething with mystery and royal intrigue.
Min Li's fate is sealed yet her true enemy is not who she thinks.
The Ming Storytellers is a historical tale of 15th century China that sweeps across the palaces of Nanjing and Beijing into the mountainous villages of Yunnan, where a mysterious shaman holds the key to a woman's destiny.
Across the oceans, from the bustling bazaars of Southern India to the lush shores of Zanzibar, nothing is what it seems.
For the eyes and ears of the Ming Emperor are ever near.
----
A tale of the Far East replete with dark secrets, The Ming Storytellers is set during the early Ming Dynasty, soon after the reconquest of The Middle Kingdom from the Mongols.
The Ming Storytellers delves into the political and personal intrigues of the Zhu Imperial family. On the eve of the great Beijing Palace fire and the Ming fleet's sixth expedition, an imperial concubine is swept up by dark forces of obsession and revenge.
The Ming Storytellers is a must journey for historical travelers and for those who believe in the bridging between worlds.
