Natalie Haynes centralizes the women of the Trojan War in funny and heartbreaking ways while shedding a new light on what the women might have experienced. While there are a few goddesses whose names roll off the tongue and whose stories are well known, it is men who dominate our understanding of Greek Mythology. Humble, loyal, and perhaps not always wise, Guo Jing faces a destiny both great and terrible. Under the tutelage of Genghis Khan and The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing hones his kung fu skills. For one day he must face his mortal enemy in battle in the Garden of the Drunken Immortals. After his father-a devoted Song patriot-is murdered by the Jin empire, Guo Jing and his mother flee to the plains of Ghengis Khan and his people for refuge. Set in ancient China, in a world where kung fu is magic, kingdoms vie for power, and the battle to become the ultimate kung fu master unfolds, an unlikely hero is born in the first book in the epic Legends of the Condor Heroes by the critically acclaimed master of the genre, Jin Yong.
